If you're likely to select that benefit in the end, it's worth assessing the value of the optionality in delaying your selection vs the risk of hassle in collecting the bonus points later, and possibly missing out on some.
(I'm not recommending either course of action, just suggesting some things to consider)
I had an issue with with retroactive application of the 100% bonus last year. I ultimately emailed the SE concierge desk and it was fixed within a couple of days. Recommend going that route based on my experience.
