I'm guessing there may have been instances in the past where miles were a few days late to post hence the "don't spread panic until the 10th of the month" in the wiki....
Can any veterans comment on the longest it took for miles to post? I've only been using the card since June and it always was the evening of the 5th or next business day in the event of weekends/holidays.

I have had the card for several years now, I do not remember a time its been this late... I could be wrong though...
Pretty sure I've had mine post this late, although when credited to my skymiles account, the date would be backdated. I think they will post tonight. For some reason, whenever the miles are delayed, they post on a Wednesday. I could be wrong though. Either way, don't sweat it. They are coming.

Mine just posted but missing about 40%. Never had that happen. I'll double check my math. Does anyone know when the cut off is? I did some transactions on Oct 3. My post date is saying Oct 3. I'm thinking those didn't go through. But there's others missing.
EDIT: I see what happened. These miles are calculated from the last posting date to the current posting date (not for the full calendar month). I hadn't really paid attention before. I was including in my expectations transactions that occurred on that posting date (Sept 5) but that were likely still pending when the miles posted. Hopefully that makes sense. Also, FYI, if you look at your skymiles account activity, you will see a small "date posted" just above the mileage amount. The back date will be larger on the left. July did post on the 7th, but otherwise for me for the last 6 months it was the 5th.

I'm doing about 8K per month, so am I doing small potatoes? I could be doing more I just don't want to attract too much attention....

I've had this card for 7 months, did a total of $150K in spend. I was shut down via a letter from ST sent on 9/24, effective 10/4. I just got the last of my miles.
