10k points posted Dec 3 after I completed the spend two weeks earlier. With so many others reporting the same date here I surmise Amex/HH did a batch run.

Recently I completed the spend for my second 10k bonus. We'll see how long that takes to post....

Would anyone who received the 20K for 2K email be willing to post or send the registration URL to me?

Mr. Marlowe received the email for his Ascend and then promptly deleted prior to registering for the promo.

Thank you!

Thank you!
The email contains a personalized link. If I try my own link it says "You have already enrolled in this promotion".

I'd suggest reaching out to Amex using their chat and ask them to re-send or enroll him manually.

Would buying giftcards also count as spending for this $2k?

Tks!

My first 20,000 pts showed up almost immediately after hitting the first $2,000, just a day or so...but it's been a week since I hit the second $2,000 and I haven't seen the points yet. Anyone else?

I’m in the same situation on the second 20,000 points. I wouldn’t be shocked it it is a month after the original batch posted. For now, watchful waiting....

I have the spend $1K earn 10K points offer. For those of you who already received both bonuses (20K x 2 or 10K x 2) do you think a single $2K purchase would trigger the 10K bonus twice? I assume so but that might not be a correct assumption lol. Thank you in advance!

I hit 1k on 12/8 and another 1k on 12/20. I'm still awaiting my 20k bonus points.

Did you get your bonus points? I recall the T&Cs saying gift cards were excluded, and wondered how they knew.

Some merchants will have enhanced reporting, believe the term is L3, and itemizes the exact nature of the purchase, in this case, gift cards.

As another data point, I reached my first $2K about 10 days ago and have not received anything yet. I’m assuming they are doing these all in one batch over the next couple of weeks.
