I'm a new Amex cardholder and several weeks ago made my first purchases abroad at a South American country. (US card holder). About $400 for hotel, and a $30 restaurant tab.

I ate out on Thursday, March 16 and I checked out of the Hotel on Sunday, March 19.

Fast forward 22 days to today, and neither charges have been posted to my account. My statement closed yesterday btw.

Lol, not complaining of course, but curious -how long does it typically take for charges abroad to be posted to account?

thanks
