I am moving out of the US in another month and many of the rewards partners will only deliver to US addresses. I want to redeem all of my points for some golf clubs before I move. I am 3000 points short of the amount needed for the reward that I want, but I have 5000 pending points. My bill is completely paid and my balance is zero.
How long after the bill is issued/paid will the pending points be credited to my account. Thanks.
Pending points are generally credited a few days after your next statement closing date. However since you're already paid in full, just call MR and ask them to accelerate the pending points and make them available for redemption now. They can look at your account, see that you've paid, and change the pending points to available points.
