She acknowledged that despite Hilton welcome bonus points normally taking only 3-5 days after the threshold is met for points to post to Hilton Honors accounts in the past that as of "mid-February" Hilton welcome bonus points would now not post until the close of the 'next' billing cycle (not the current cycle but next cycle). So I was speaking to her in the context of the Hilton Biz credit card but she indicated that this would be the case for all Hilton welcome bonus points moving forward on all business and consumer cards.

I can tell you that as of Feb 3rd I have data points from other Hilton consumer cards that indicate otherwise (welcome bonus received in just a few days). So the question is 1. Is this true only for business cards, 2. Is this across the board as of mid-Feb or 3. Is she full of crap and there is just another system glitch/delay causing a handful of welcome bonus not to post.

Please share any data points including the card type and whether its been more than the 'few days' it used to be.
