Can you get the referral offer of 7500 pts for referring someone who previously held the card?

Is there some delay in points posting recently? Statement closed on 19th but points still haven't posted today 23rd.

Not for me. My statement closed on the 19th and my points were already posted when I got the June 2017 Statement e-mail the afternoon of the 20th.

Thanks for the dp. Did you mean "posted into SPG account (not Amex online account)"?

Yes. I can't recall the last time monthly points or purchase-related cash or points bonuses didn't post within a day or two of the qualifying activity. Amex has really impressed me in that regard.

Thanks. This is the first time I had such long delay (still not posted today, 6th day now).

I wonder what this credit card and the Marriott/Ritz-Carlton cards will become after a new combined program is rolled out. I plan on keeping mine (R-C Visa and SPG Amex), to see how it turns out. Even if the the relationship with either Amex or Chase were discontinued, existing accounts would likely be grandfathered in.

Having the exact same issue - statement closed on the 19th, and nothing so far despite usually posting within a day or two. A call to AmEx said that it takes 7-10 business days to post.

My Amex statement closed on the 12th and the points were posted to my SPG account on the 14th.

There must be some problems with the system. Any dp on stmt closing after 19th?

I used to think that, but the way Chase just completely screwed all holders of the Fairmont card, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Unfortunately, that's not what typically happens when a new exclusive is negotiated. The Citi Hilton cards will not be grandfathered, just as the Costco Amexs were not. Typically the portfolio is either purchased by the new issuer, or the existing issuer will move you to a new product.

My statement date was the 21st and points were in my SPG account on the morning of the 23rd.

Hello All, should I apply for the 30k offer available for me on Amex website or wait for another possible 35k offer. I ask because I'm concerned that with Chase taking over SPG that that offer may not come around again. Also, any thoughts on using this as a base card for non-category spend due to the value of SPG points? I appreciate any insight.
