I was given a spend 3k in 6 mo for 10k TPY on Premier recently... hit the 3k in month 2. I actually have a need for those points, I'd like ASAP, and my statement closes next week. I called in to see if the rep could give me a sense of timing, so I could plan a quick transfer (otherwise, would have to use Amex MRs to Jetblue at a worse rate).

CSR said point would we awarded at the end of the 6 months, not when I completed the spend. That seemed wrong, but didn't really have the time to push, and figured you all would have much better info/DPs.

So, on Citi TYP retention offers, whats been your experience about the points posting once required spend is hit?
