I did not hit my $3000 by my first statement (Sep 2018) but did on my second (Oct 2018).
When my second statement was generated (Oct 5), my miles from purchases AND the bonus miles hit my UA account 2 days later.
Sounds like the only difference between you and I is that you met the spend within the first statement period and I did in the second. Perhaps they never issue a bonus in the first statement? You be waiting until your next statement.
My documentation from signing up says "After qualifying, please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus miles to post to your account".
Maybe call Chase and ask them?
Thanks for sharing your data point. I finished my $3K min spend 11 days before statement close date. I know the documentation says 6 to 8 weeks; but I had read posts here and elsewhere saying it can happen within days of finishing the minimum spend (with no differentiation as to first or later statements). I think if the bonus miles don't post by Tuesday, I'll assume it's not going to happen with this first statement. I can't wait until the next statement close since I'm looking at a June trip; I'm pretty nervous about not having tickets yet for an international trip. I hesitate calling Chase as I figure they'll just tell me the official "6 to 8 weeks" statement.
