Statement posted last week, points haven't. I'm getting a bit nervous - I applied well within the deadline, but didn't get approved until late March. I suppose I should wait until my next statement to start calling US Bank.

I got my olympics bonus with my last statement posted a few days ago.
I found this interesting, forgive me if I'm repeating data, but I applied the last day of the promo 3/14, didn't get approved for a couple weeks. I figured I'd roll with or without olympics bonus, but to my delight I got the bonus. I haven't got the regular 20k bonus yet because I've only put about 2.5k spend on the card. So, no need to hit the 3.5k threshold to get the olympic bonus.
Cheers
