I just received points for purchases in the first week of May. In my experience, points have been about 5-7 weeks behind the actual purchase and they come in bunches. I maintain a spreadsheet and they haven't missed any points that I was entitled to. I will note that you need to follow the steps exactly to get the points. I tried to move some items from "Saved for Later" but the points didn't come through. I haven't tried putting items in my cart and then going through the link on TrueBlue afterwards but I suspect that wouldn't work either like it does with other portals (like Ebates).
Just had a batch of 4000 points or so post today. I think they were from early May purchase.

Since early Feb, received pts for 4/24 and 5/2. I can't figure out how the pts are calculated as I didn't purchase anything 1/3 of the points awarded for those dates +/- a few days. Still haven't received points for about a dozen purchases in Feb, Mar and Apr.
Lyft pts post much much faster.

Gift Cards?
The language actually says anything added to your cart "within 24 hours" will count. I usually add things into my cart the night before, stop by the store the next morning for a 5x or 4.5x gift card, and complete the purchase in the morning. Seems to be working fine.

I have my wife put things she wants in saved for later, then I go through the link and add them. I don't always remember and don't keep records, but are folks saying that doesn't work?

My wife does the same thing. I tested out the "saved for later" method with purchases on 5/3. I've received points for purchases through 5/8 but did not receive credit for about 850 points from the 5/3 "saved for later" order. I usually just copy the name of the item and paste it into the search bar after I go though the Amazon link and add it to my cart. It's a couple extra steps but it ensures I get the points.

just a grocery store bought amazon giftcard. 5x freedom rotating category or otherwise using my AMEX EDP for 4.5x. Alternatively, if you don't have either card, you can always buy from the United MXP app. Loading GCs on Amazon doesn't count. But purchasing something with your gc balance does.

Depending on your goals and cards, 5% cash back can still be a good choice.
