They updated it on the phone with me. They told me all my missing points would appear on my BW account within 5 business days, along with my additional 20,000 bonus for making $1000 purchase within 90 days (so ~41,000 points). Two weeks later, none of those points are there.

I'm wondering if the guy on the phone was mistaken, and all those points will not show up until my next statement is generated (as it seems that this is when they do the 'transfer')? Anyone have experience with missing points and how long it takes for them to show up after things are cleared up?

I inquired about the remaining bonus and was informed that it will be posted at the end of the 90 days (in fairness the application says it may take 150 days to post). 2-3 days later, I received the points in my account.

Assuming we're all on the same page here, discussing the recent (current still?) MBNA BWR MC 60K promo, the initial 20K will appear on the first statement provided you've made a purchase with the MC. The additonal 20K after $1K and the 20K after another $1K, will both appear after 3 months from date of approval, no need to look before then. These final 40K will post at MBNA site first, and then will appear on your following statement thereafter, and within 2 days they should then be in your BestWestern account. This is, of course, assuming you don't have a mixuup on linking to your existing BW membership account (sorry to hear it wasn't for you, pokee).
