When I asked the CSR if I had met the spend requirement, he stated that I needed to spend about $4300 more, which seems to indicate the Simon Mall purchase was not being counted toward eligible spend.
When I pressed him and said I saw about $6k spend from my side, he confirmed he saw the spend, that it earned miles for the purchase, and to wait a little longer for the bonus to post.
I don't believe him...
Things may change but Amex bonuses normally posts as soon as the spend is done. No waiting for statement.
Last month i did 6k at Simons and nothing. Did 5k at supermarket and 2 days later I received my points.
It may be that you will still get it for Simons purchase eventually but f you are close to your 90 days I would just do more at other locations.
