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.

finally did a chat with Amex on this. Was basically told to wait for 90 days after the offer. They did confirm the offer was ‘awarded’ on April 22, but I kept asking them to confirm when the MR would ‘deposit’ and was given the 90 days language in the terms. So apparently I just have to wait. In the meantime, we did have another 1000 MR post - from $200 Amazon spend on my wife’s AU card - that took about a week after the charges posted.
on another note, I did ask about the credit also from my May 14 Walmart+ monthly fee, and was also told to wait until the limit prescribed in the terms was up, even though I said it usually posted within a few days. So I guess we’ll wait and see there…too.

Update: Both the Walmart and Staples offers disappeared earlier today and now show under the “Savings” tab. While I made both $40+ Walmart purchases about 5 days apart, both $10 credits showed up in the “Savings” tab today.

Do you mean that it has been 3 days since the offer vanished from the "Added" list, or 3 days from the transaction posted?
Our transactions (split payments) were on Tue May 24th. They stayed pending until Thursday yesterday to become posted though posted with May 24th date. Offer remains in both cards "Added" list.

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.

As has been discussed, everything is lagging. My $25 Google Fi credit posted today (from the spend $50+ get $25 up to 3x), backdated to 5/26, from a charge around 5/18.

Definitely-- the gas credits have been particularly slow, taking 2+ weeks to register.
On the recent grocery credits, it looks like my second $100 spend was triggered and posted relatively quickly, but oddly my first $100 spend hasn't been reflected yet.

Any data points on whether the IHG offer gets triggered on point + cash bookings?
