1. You cannot know this soon which bonuses will really post.



2. It's not random. There does seem to be a pattern, related to the credit card processor that the merchant chose. American Express needs to fix it, and recognizing the pattern will help communicate with them about it.

Really weird. Checked it a couple days ago and some had the 4x badge, checked it now and all the ones that I thought would have 4x have 4x except for a coffee place that uses square.

I'm going to be reviewing these statements over the next month or so to make sure I'm getting 4x on the places I "dine" and places I "shop". I've been used to CSR's liberal definition of dining, pretty much everywhere I was getting 3x.

So far the 4x multiplier is hitting places where I go frequently so I'm a happy camper.. for now!

True, I'm just going off what is being displayed in the New Version "preview" - which seems to be updated about 2-3 days after the transaction posts - but you are right, who knows what is going to happen once the statement is created

confirming that all restaurant charges via Square have posted as 1x Membership Rewards points on my Oct statement.

AMEX is pretty good at corrections after the fact via adjustment without having to request it.

I've been happy to see almost all the locations at Disneyland and California Adventure (including Disney Hotel) that I ate at seem to be showing up as restaurants on the statement, though my statement hasn't closed yet to verify I got 4x. Both doing mobile app ordering in the parks and walk up ordering both code as restaurants even though the mobile does show up as Disney Mobile Order or something.

My statement closed on Monday. The statement does not show the number of MR earned. But I do see the number of pending points when I log on. Anyone else?

This is normal if this the very first statement on a new account. The (pending) points generated by October transactions will be earned when you pay the balance, and will appear on the next statement.

If you try to track points using -both- the online information -and- the paper/PDF statements you will become very confused. Choose one method. Ignore the other.

Make sure you enrolled for the dining credit.

Does anyone knows if Uber Eats counts as dining for Amex and it earns 4x? Just curious, I used my CSR to order food and it was reimbursed through the travel credit. Wondering if Amex considers it just another Uber transaction.

Uber Eats posts as "Transportation - Taxis & Coach".

Make sure you have really signed up for the Amex credit. I signed up once (soon after the benefit went live), and then perhaps a couple weeks later, after noticing that Amex kept inviting me to sign up, I signed up again, and it said "enrolled", rather than "you are already signed up". So could it be that some early signups didn't work right?

Anyway, after I did my second signup, I did a GrubHub pickup order ($15ish), and the $10 credit appeared online a day or two after the GrubHub charge actually posted (which in turn was several days after the order was placed). (And the extra MR point for the "earn 1 extra MR point on GrubHub/Seamless" offer I signed up for also posted about the same timing. And that one extra MR point was on the pre-credit amount, ie, the original purchase amount.)

I'm not seeing the Dining benefit reset today...actually, both the Dining and Airfare credit are showing:

I almost never post on this forum but came in to answer this exact question. Just noticed on my statement online. Uber Eats does not count it's only 1X points, However Grubhub gets you 4X. As a snobby downtown big city millennial this is a SLIGHT annoyance as you can track the location of your food with Uber Eats but at least Grub Hub provides a pseudo decent delivery time window. Also, switching to grubhub will inheritantly force you to use your $10 monthly credit as opposed to forgetting like i just know i would.

Not looking forward to giving up my uber eats app, but considering how often I have food delivered, I can't leave 4X points on the table. Rough estimate is that I spend $2,000 to $4,000 a year on delivery. 4,000 points or 16,000 points. No brainer.

My statement closed and I have about $120 in restaurant spend that did not earn 4x points. They are mix of square and non-square terminals. Given that I eat at many new places that use Square I may have to rethink on using Amex vs Chase.

There must be further delay with this and I've been charging this card by manually entering. Approve 10/20, ordered standard gold, still no shipping notice.
