hello
my first statement closed yesterday (5/25), and all my regular multiplier points for dining, gas, travel etc posted. However, my 140000 welcome bonus did not post (despite hitting the 3k). is that expected behavior? anyone know when i should expect the bonus points to post? hoping to lock in reward nights, and the more i wait the higher the likelihood for them to get snagged. anyone know whether there is a way to just expedite the posting of the bonus since the other points seem to have posted just fine?
thanks

I thought this was in the Wiki but it was not! So I just added it:

thanks everyone. what is interesting is that on the transaction that put me over the threshold (done on 5.18), i received this message indicating that as part of this transaction i will receive the 140k points. since regular per dollar points posted for this transaction, i hope this means i am in the clear and that i will receive the bonus shortly.... i really need it to post this month and not next.

I had the $49 card for many years, and signed up for the Premium on Feb 28th. I understood that to be right before the new rules would be implemented. I completed the 3k spending weeks ago, but the bonus point didn't post when my account closed last week. I'm not sure how much follow up I'm up to at the moment when it comes to Chase, but I'm guessing I cut it too close since others got it within two days of closing.

How many days before the end of the billing cycle did you finish the $3,000 spend? If it was a week or less the bonus may post at the end of the NEXT cycle.

i've called chase twice now and they say theres nothing they can do to expedite the points despite my statement cleary staying that i earned the 140k bonus during this period. i hit mine on 5.18 with a 5.25 close date, which in theory should suffice. ill wait another few days before giving up hope.

I am really thinking of getting this card but I am conerned about availability. I read comments from other websites that even if I get my free night or if I do the 4th night free deal,there is very limited availability and the points are a total waste.
Is this what other people are seeing in real life?

And "look at availability" here means actually clicking through to individual property rates even if the summary results claim no award availability for the property in question. I've run across one case where a search for using a Flex 40K FNC in SFO turned up results that included a no-award tag & only an apparent cash rate for the Mr & Mrs Smith Lodge at the Presidio--but when I clicked through, there was option to book with the FNC + points.
