My statement date is the 6th. If I make the qualifying purchase say Dec 8 the 100k sign up bonus will not post until after Jan 6 correct? **

Understood the points from spend will not post until after Jan 6.

Understood. My mental math is I get 1% value back via RR points so the net junk fee is 1.3% (Sac County has similar fee). At that point I am okay with it.
