Has anyone gotten the extra 5 K from a reciprocal marital arrangement like that above?

Did the bonus miles post coincide with your monthly close date or did they just post out of the blue? I cant remember where I read this but they were saying the bonus miles are being posted with your monthly miles. I'll give it till my statement closes this month and if I don't have anything by then I'll send a secure message.

My wife added my name as an authorized user to her card on April 10. The bonus miles posted on her closing date at the end of May, seven weeks later. So, don't expect the miles to show up on the very next statement, be patient. Give them two months before you inquire.....

I just checked the promotional flyer on this deal. It says to allow 6 to 8 weeks after the last day of the promotional period, which was May 15, 2010, for the miles to post to your account.
I added the additional user(s) on April 10. The bonus miles posted to one account last week, but not the other accounts.

Yes. One of ours posted BEFORE the additional user's card arrived. The other one missed the statement date and I expect it to be on next statement.

My 5k posted yesterday, along with my monthly spend miles. Added my wife on for an additional card, then shredded it as soon as it arrived.
