Neither my business or personal has posted yet, so they must be doing it in batches.

Same. Seems kind of odd that the SPG Biz and Personal card stay and night benefits post the same way. Same in 2016, they posted the same way. Only way I could tell the difference is I got the personal card during the year so they posted at a different time than the Biz ones.

Biz & Personal have now both posted.

Personal posted last week for me.

Another data point: one of my stay/night credits posted this morning, and the second card's stay/nights credits posted this afternoon. ^

25k offer after making a reservation today. Think I'll be waiting this one out (Marriott card is just fine for the time being).

I've had my SPG Amex for about 2 weeks shy of 1 year. Spent about 13K on it in 2016.

I'm wondering if I should call before my annual fee hits about a retention offer or should I call after?

Anyone else experiencing delays in their SPG Amex monthly points earning from spend showing up in their SPG account? My January statement posted two weeks ago and my points usually post a couple days later, in the same month. They're now way overdue.

Mine usually post on the 4th but in Dec posted on the 6th, so I'm not sweating it yet...they will always post, even if a few days late

My most recent Amex statement closed on 1/10 and the points posted to my SPG account on 1/12. My next statement will close tomorrow.

There was a AMEX targeted bonus late last year ending in Dec, 5k pts for $5k spend, 10k pts for $10k spend. Any one seen the bonus posted?

I completed spending the first $5k in Aug and the 2nd $5k in Oct and the bonuses posted to my SPG account very soon after each milestone; didn't even wait for the statement to close.

Same as what megalab said...we concentrated all spend on the SO's card to make sure we got that bonus. Within a couple days of hitting the $5K spend we got the 5K point bonus. We then switched all spend to my card but only spent about $2K on the card as of 12/31 so I go zero point bonus on that one.
