Nah, I haven't paid the bill yet, and it's always due on the 20th of the following month. The points almost always post before that.
Many many years ago, when Amex purchases yielded AY+ points directly, the points posted after each payment made. You could also "buy" points that way – I was missing some 1000 points from an award I wanted, and I simply paid some money to my Amex account, so after a few days I got the points and booked the award.

Sent an email last night about two inflight purchases, one at the end of February and the other one mid-March. I also wrote, in a kind manner, that it's a little too much extra work to always have to ask for the points separately. Received the points within 24 hours (including points for alcohol purchases in March!), and a kind reply that they don't know why the points don't post automatically...

At least when I asked SEB about what is taking so long they referred to technical issues at AY. I can't judge if that is true but I'm sure we all know it is quite plausible.

In cases where you would reach new status the long posting time is a real nuisance as you will miss the benefits of the new status for a long time. If the qualifying flight for the new status late in your tracking period you might even miss one set of vouchers.
I don't know how the bonus points in the ongoing mission work for flights posting late. I'm afraid you would miss the bonuses if the flight isn't credited before the campaign ends and CS wouldn't help if the flight has been booked before the campaign (as the campaign rules require that, even though flights booked earlier seem to count as well).

AA flights from 6/8/11th April..nothing posted as of yet, one of them was AY codeshare on AA metal..2 others pure AA. Later AY / BA flights have all posted within 3-4 days. Frustrating to say the least.

Need to say that within last month they have improved a lot!
During last two weeks I've done 14 legs, 12 of them with OW carriers and seven with AY iron. All except one leg have posted allready. Though all AA and BA flights were credited latest three days after boarding.
Not satisfied yet, but the situation seem to be much better than at the beginning of the year. Everytime when I've called CS they have solved the issue of missing points right away without any delay.
