Anyone know how long it should take MR offers to post for a generic spend bonus.
I got a spend $4500, get 2500 MR offer. I don't remember the exact date I activated, but given the terms showing it expires on Jun 5, I suspect I activated it around March 6. Because I'm not sure exactly when I activated, not sure the specific purchase were I hit the threshold, but given there was a $4000 airfare purchase a month ago, on April 22 - that should have done it - its possible it was a charge or two later, but I'm pretty sure even just April charges, once I made that charge, hit the spend threshold. However, I'm not seeing the bonus yet.
Not as familiar with the MR offers vs. the cash ones - but I also hit an Amazon MR offer that posted fairly quickly - I suspect these offers don't show up in the savings tab because they are not an actual dollar amount.
Probably time to initiate a chat to inquire, but just looking to others experience to see how long its taken MR to post for the general spend offers.

Missing offer
Does anybody else remember an offer for $30 off a stay at Hilton Garden/Hampton? I had that stored on my Platinum, and I remember thinking I could use it at a stay next month. But I just looked at my "Added to card" list, and it's not there.
I'm pretty sure it didn't expire until later this summer, because I've had this reservation for a couple of months and I remember looking at it and thinking I could use it before it expired.
Does anybody else remember this, or have it showing under "Added to card?"

For those of you who have done the Staples $25/$100 offer, did you receive the congrat emails after transactions?
We did a split payment at $100 each this afternoon for a gift card. It worked last time in Nov. Received emails promptly but one card
s credit took much longer to post. Did not receive emails this time. Though I read here these days the congrat emails are hit or miss.

So I'm thinking about the Blue Apron offer since I've gotten lazy about cooking. I did the same deal last fall. Is this offer good only ONCE per card member or once per validity period per card member. For example, Blue Apron $25 off $50 or more was available from September to November and is available once again.

EDITED TO ADD: Credit triggered even though offer was added 6 hours after purchase on the same date.

(I would add that I liked Blue Apron the best by far of all the meal kits services I tried, and I tried about 6 of them.)

I noticed that the offer vanished from the list on the same day, shortly after making the purchase. It could've happened a day or two earlier, since I didn't look at that account every day. I'm aware of such vanishing happening to others, but that was the first time it happened to me.

Has anyone tried using the Amex Travel IAP offer with Delta and then cancelling the flight with eCredit? I don't think I'll be doing any flying that would quality for IAP anytime soon but would be okay getting a large amount of Delta eCredits with a hefty discount. I've been able to directly modify and cancel Delta flights booked via Amex Travel for eCredit in the past but not sure if Amex Travel handles things differently for IAP and wanted to double check given that the required spend to trigger the credit is quite high.
