AMEX not giving me points on Delta Gold Business
Back in June, AMEX had elevated offers for the Delta cards, so me and my gf both applied for both Delta Gold Bussiness and Delta Platnium Business. I've met both the Gold and Platnium card welcome offer and got 162k delta miles in my account. My gf met both Gold and Platnium welcome offer but only got the Platnium miles and not the Gold. When she contacted AMEX via chat, one person said to just wait for statment close, one says to wait 6-8 weeks. Then one said it was a known issue for Delta cards and he has elevated the issue. On all the other cards, once the min spend was made, we got the points after 2 or 3 days, for my gf's Delta Gold bussiness its been 2 weeks. What should we do? We both never had any delta cards before. My gf only has the SPG card before this.

Yea they told me to be patient, but ever other bonus i got came right away, infact, we both finished the Gold at the same week, and mine posted after 3 days. So i'm just a little worried.

Have there been any returns/credits on the account or purchases that might appear to be ineligible?
Also, do you have a genuine business to be eligible for business cards?

No returns, one credit of the 50 bucks credit after delta purchase. Nothing that i would think is inelibile charges. Even AMEX said she is eligilable. Her family owns a restuant which she is co owner on paper.

Good question. No they didn't and i would have noticed too. Both Gold and Platnium card showed the same miles the whole time, and i just opened the account to check and both skymiles account # are the same.
