Missed AMEX Spending Deadline. Now what?
I lost track of the date and now I think I might be screwed. My application for the AMEX SPG Biz was approved on March 8th, 2019 after I called them. I'm currently $207 from meeting the spending requirement. As of today I'm at 93 days. I just put in $550 worth of purchases to my card so it should be dated today before today is over (Eastern Daylight time). I also can't seem to see pending charges on my AMEX account. How do I view that? Am I out of luck?

For as much as many people rave about the legendary AMEX customer service, they usually stick to their policies with no wiggle room. I have not personally encountered this exact scenario yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they said tough

I think it's too early for OP to call at this point. OP needs to wait for the charges that put him/her/them over the spending threshold to post and see if the SUB is awarded. If it doesn't that's when OP needs to call and verify if the SUB will be given. It may very well be that the SUB is given and this is all moot.
