UPS MyChoice would let you do that easily - https://www.ups.com/mychoice/

Pretty sure you have to call to expedite, otherwise they'll send it snail mail. Or 2-3day as others have mentioned. Seems random with Amex these days.

Wife was approved for the 100k offer yesterday. In the mail today? Same card, same terms with offer of 150k.

Anyone know if they'll upgrade her offer?

Yes, but those fees get high....When exactly did this offer end? I see most links were pulled around 11pm cst but one is still alive though the terms state the app has to be received by 1/25 to qualify for the bonus.

When did the first half of your bonus hit? As of today, I've organically spent $5500 (not including the annual fee) with more in "pending". I know the 1 MR/$ won't hit until statement closing, but I seem to recall bonuses hitting sooner.

Points from spending in the first statement period will become pending a few days after the first statement is generated, and will post a few days after the second statement. It has always been so:

Bonus points are unpredictable. They might post a few days after meeting the spending threshold, or they might post weeks after the statement on which the threshold was crossed, as mentioned in the offer terms.

Thanks for the info re points for spending.

B/c bonuses are unpredictable, I'd like to hear from some of you guys who've had recent bonuses re when they posted.

Looking back at a personal plat that I got in 2015, I met spend on 9/13 and bonus points hit on 9/15.

My wife's platinum bonus posted a couple of days after meeting the spend. Same with my gold card. Both were a shock since I didn't realize the spending requirements had been met.

Good to know. Also suggests the bonus posted before you'd even paid the bill.

My wife's spend was completed on Nov 18 and the bonus credited on Nov 20. No relationship between bonus and payment.
