I'm pretty impressed that unlike the advertised 8 to 12 weeks, it only took about 3 for my initial bonus and reward points for the first month of use to post.

But not all went as smooth as I wanted it to go... only 25 points posted and not the 30 that were promissed with a flyer that arrived with the card. No big deal, I called both Amex and jetBlue to see where did the other 5 points go or if they were lost and both said with no certainty that they should post "later...maybe" I'm not a big fan of uncertainty so I asked how long I should wait... the response was interesting, wait out the rest of the 8 to 12 week period and then call again.

Luckily, with the addition of these bonus points I got my first FREE round trip award. Woo Hoo!
