To follow-up, I had charged a utility bill on my CFU on 12/15. No credit but it turns out I hadn't activated the offer.
Activated on 1/3 and then charged again. The credit just posted today with a date of 12/15.
Reading the terms of the email offer, I see:
* To be eligible for this bonus offer, you must activate by 1/15/2411:59 p.m. E.T. You will qualify for and receive your bonus if you make Purchases with your credit card that total an amount at or above the specified target amount during the promotional period in the following rewards categories: fitness club and gym memberships; utilities; internet, cable, and phone services; insurance; or/and local transit/commuting (excluding airline purchases).
So it seems like as long as you activate the offer, any spend during the promotional period (even before activation) counts.
