I did end up making the $200 easier than I thought I would. Always figured this was going to be a later sweep, not a typical sync situation of crediting the bonus as soon as the final charge posts.

Thanks for everybody's helpful feedback!
This was my first time trying out Amex Offers. Interesting to see that others may have had the same issue. I will get Amex involved.
There are multiple more I have added to my card, even for an Autograph Collection hotel I am currently staying at. Let's hope those run more smoothly.

I can’t be certain yet (the description hasn’t posted), but it looks like I’ve received 40k points for my 4k spend during the most recent promo. That’s better than waiting 8 weeks after the end of the promo.

Me too! Got the 20K on my Ascend for the 2K spend, still waiting on the grocery spend on my no-fee card - and I completed that a lot longer ago.
I should easily hit another 20K by the end of the month.

Does anyone remember the exact date the 20K countdown started? Don't want to go too far over, rather save as much as I can for next year's free night bonus...
Found it! Got the e-mail Oct. 25

I want to provide my experience regarding the latest $30 off $300 Hilton/Curio/Canopy offer. I've used Amex offer extensively (e.g., the recent Hyatt, Ritz, Wardolf, Doubletree, Curio, Omni) because I travel a lot. Never have any problems. This time I stayed at Hilton STL and the offer didn't post. I called and the first rep said it was because I didn't book with Hilton (I always book through Concur and never had problem), and they will check for me. One week no response so I called again, after 40 minutes of back and forth (they said Hilton STL is not a Hilton brand hotel...), they have agreed to manually offer me $30 credit. Hope this can help others. I'm going to continue to use their offers - now with 5 Marriott brands and the latest DoubleTree offer.

I've got offers from Hilton, Marriott family consistently and recently starting to get Hyatt offers. There are also offers from other smaller chains. Easily saved $2k+ this year alone
