How long after the statement date do Amex Delta miles post to the Delta account? My statement issued on March 17th shows that I received 62,050 miles but these have not posted as of 3/30 to my Delta account. It is a personal Delta Gold card. The card itself shows the correct Delta number and Amex is able to pull up my current Delta balance.
Also, if some portion of those miles were a sign-up bonus, that may take longer, though you should still have received the "regular" portion of the miles (i.e. if you were due a 60K sign-up bonus and 2,050 regularly-earned miles, I would expect the 2,050 should have arrived).

Anyway I applied last night for the 80k DL Plat Biz offer with the 5k MQMs and $100 SC. Instantly approved and for once I actually got the instant card number, which was then declined by my apts rent portal. Sigh. Can't win em all I suppose.

Has anyone had a problem with the 75K sign-on bonus posting? I met the spend during my first month with my federal tax payment. Received the statement today and it didn't show the bonus. Online chat said tax payments don't count. I called in and the agent said it did count but would take 6-8 weeks to post. I was a little leery and he gave me his name and employee ID.
Should I sit patiently? It's not a huge issue to meet the $3K spend but I have other cards that I'd prefer to use and really got this card because I knew I could hit the spend easily with taxes.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I can wait and hope for the best or spend another $3K :-)
Has anyone else had any issue with tax payments qualifying?

Thank you! In my wife's case the statements have posted for both the Gold and Platinum cards. Both statement show the signup bonus and the points for the actual spend. However, neither have posted to her Delta account. I will wait for 90 days, then call, then file a CFPB complaint. She has had these problems before and this order of events took care of it.

A DP of mine:
Recently applied Delta Reserve card (75k RDM+ 5k MQM) and reached spending requirement in early March. Now after two statements still no sign-up bonus. The regularly earned points and referral points correctly posted, though.

Some people found that some things they thought would count (such as things that Amex gave a credit for) didn't count, and they had to spend more. But if you've waited two months, do you still have to do extra spend if you didn't buffer before?
My signup bonus points posted as I met each spend requirement (two steps), in between statements.

Did you "buffer" the spend, or just walk up to the exact spend amount and not a cent further?

I'm experiencing the same with my delta Amex Biz. I have done online chat twice - first agent says they can see the offer but they have 6-8 weeks to post miles....second agent says I have no offer. Called and now the agent can see the offer again...but I am 5 days short of the 8 weeks so I have to wait to see if it posts. I'm not holding my breath.
