Where did you purchase, when, and which gc? My uber gc from staples took 1 day to credit with the post date being the same day as the purchase date.
Here are my credits for both December and January which were both pretty much immediate.

For purchases on Amex cards, you need to test and memorize the locations that give you 4X. It may take a month or longer after each purchase for the 4X status will be visible on AmEx. IME it's usually less than half of such mixed locations. By comparison, MC/Visa card purchases inside the store almost always count as fuel.

Any directional indicators on how in-store transactions at 7-11 are likely counted?

There must be a multi-pump fuel station attached. Your luck may also improve in more rural areas. Also, it may take 2 months before you know if it's 4X (Biz Gold) / 3X ( Blue Cash Pref) or 1X - so be patient.

Visually how do the 4x in gas stations show up in the Amex transactions activity history. Do they show up as non-bonus purchase that earn 1x when transaction posts and if they qualify for 4x, is it an incremental 3x added when the next statement (or does it need two statement closes?).

Did you enroll for this benefit? If not you won't get the credit. Happened to me the first month on one of my cards when I forgot to enroll.
My February gift cards from staples were purchased on 2/3 and credit posting date is once again on that same day just as in previous months. So this credit is still posting very quickly and I'd say there may be an issue with your particular purchase rather than with this credit overall.

(at pump) shows up as "7-ELEVEN PAYATPUMP"
(inside store) shows up as "7-ELEVEN"
Clicking on each transaction then choosing "show additional info" shows the same info about the location (this particular location was a smaller station with only 1 fuel bay with 2 pumps on either side for total of 4 pumps.
Is this common for the transactions to show up with different labels? and is that any indicator if pump vs in-store transactions might get 4x vs 1x on the business gold?
