When will my United MileagePlus bonus appear?
 

So my second credit card statement appeared yesterday on the 25th (first statement ended on 3/25) showing that I've met the required spending and that I earned the 50k miles in my credit card statement. I met the spending about 3 days after my first statement (spent required amount by 3/28). When should I expect the amount to appear in my United Mileageplus account? Should I expect it to come within the next day or two? I'm hoping to go somewhere within the next 2 weeks using this points. I am wondering whether that's a viable choice right now or if I have to wait until the next statement period. I thought the miles would have posted yesterday, but they have not yet and I keep going back to the site to refresh haha...

should see them in a day or two, but expect an extra $75 fee per ticket since booking within 21 days of travel

See this post for a potential trick to avoid the close-in ticketing fee (basically, book the same flight more than 21+ days out and then call in and ask to switch it to the date you really want -- and hope the agent doesn't charge you): http://www.milevalue.com/dont-pay-th...-united-trick/
