The bonus points are for your first use (first purchase), so if you take months to make your first purchase, it'll obviously also take months for you to get the points!
The bonus points should appear on your Chase statement that shows your first purchase, and then should appear at Priority Club shortly thereafter (but it may take at least a day or two, I think).

The amount of time has nothing to do with when you get the card!!!!!

So my points will be on my rewards account on my 1st statement? And my platinum status as well?

Plat status should also change immediately.

The PC Select Visa is a Visa Signature card. I wouldn't be concerned -- they're probably still using old material since the PC Visa used to only grant Gold and they only recently changed it to Platinum. You can call and ask but I'm pretty certain you'll have Plat status just like those of us who have had the card from before they upgraded that benefit.

Mr. honu applied for the card at the beginning of this year (under the 80K promo), and recently received the postcard that confirms Platinum as a cardholder). I've had the very same card for a little over a year (applied last year under the 60K promo), and for some reason my account reads that I need to earn 6XXX points to renew Platinum for 2013. Clearly something is amiss... Who should I contact about this, Chase or PC?
Another option (since this is a new Chase card benefit) is to wait until later in the year to see if the problem works itself out....you have plenty of time until 2013....

(The countdown is still valid. It's what you need to earn if you do not keep the Visa card...)

I got the card last month, and made my first purchase, the points of which have posted (Apr 16), but the bonus/plat have not posted. Gold everytime I log in. Will wait for the 2nd billing cycle before I try calling Chase/PC.
FYI. When I called to activate my card the rep said gold for life, and I had to ask if it wasn't platinum and she (i assume look/asked) came back saying that it was plat.

There is nothing clearly amiss... The status countdown stays on your account page, regardless. Look for a 0-point line that reads "SELECT PLATINUM UPGRADE", probably back in March. That's how you know.

. I have received 10% of points for award reservations back, and my Visa spend posts normally, so it's not like they're not aware that I have the card...

Thanks for the tip (didn't get back to this thread until today). Nope, no "SELECT PLATINUM UPGRADE" notation on my account. Looks like I'll have to bring it up with PC CS . I have received 10% of points for award reservations back, and my Visa spend posts normally, so it's not like they're not aware that I have the card...

If you stay at any ICs during the year qualifying should not be a problem. I'd only complain if you don't see yourself requalifying and probably not until early next year when the upgrade will actually be an upgrade.

I am a new PC Visa holder, received my 80,000 points and used some for a stay April 21.I have not received my 10% back although the points for incidentals has posted. What is the normal time frame for their posting (I did not see anything about the 10% on my card info when it came, has this changed?)
Thanks
Thanks
