(Slightly OT but I couldn’t find the proper thread and I didn’t want to post similar question on 2 threads.) For an affiliated card (Delta, Marriott, etc.), when (after meeting required spend) should the SUB miles or points post to one’s affiliated balance ?)
Thank you.

Asked and answered follow-up: 4 recent bonuses; 2 Amex SUB, 1 AmEx retention, 1 Chase SUB. All spends met with estimated tax payments late night on June 15th EST, bonuses pending/posting as follows: (AmEx SUB and retention bonuses usually post within days of meeting required spend without regard for statement date and payment, Chase SUBs usually post on the statement which includes meeting the required spend unless spend met immediately (1-2 days) prior to statement date.)
Biz Plat retention: MR posted 7 days later
Delta Biz SUB: SkyPesos pending on AmEx 7 days later, posted to Delta late that same day.
Marriott Biz SUB: Bonvoy points pending on AmEx 7 days later, posted to Marriott next morning.
Chase Ink SUB: pending on Chase website 3-4 days later, awaiting statement in 1-2 weeks
In these situations, all AmEx bonuses posted 2-3 days later than I had experienced many times until 1-2 years ago. Chase bonus timing was as expected.
