Personal opinion but don't bother with SQ F. It's a massively aspirational, and because of that, a massively disappointing experience. Set your sights lower and enjoy more. Just my two cents.

How quick would the 40k Amex bonus for the business gold card post - not a big rush or anything, but would it be feasible to get them in time before the 1.25 MR to Avios ends on Sept. 30?
I'd probably be able to hit the 5k spend requirement by August 5.

my amex bonus hit like a day after I reached spend, so that's totally realistic.

It was about a month for me, between 2 billing cycles
Aug 5 to Sep 30, you should be okay
make sure your Avios account is linked already by then

I've been waiting for over a month... I've been assured by their reps that they're good for it, so I'm not too worried about it - yet.

My 30k bonus posted the day after I hit the minimum spend. Still waiting for the extra 10k (I applied through a referral link.. not holding my breath for that one as that was a self-referral and I already received the 10k referral bonus on my other card).

Transfer your SPG points to Singapore. And I disagree with the previous poster: SQ F is one of the truly great flight experiences you will ever have, and well worth the points! I've flown it several times. Get the A-380, from Singapore to NA. Give yourself ample time to fully enjoy The Private Room at Changi. Try to book a middle seat and hope that no one is next to you so you can sleep on the only double bed in the sky. Pre-order your Lobster Thermidor, and enjoy one of the most cool, fun experiences of your life! My 2 cents...

Points are calculated and accrued at the time of your statement.
BUT points show up on your RBC Avion account (and then are ready for transfer) the following day - but usually later in the day.
For example, here's what happened with mine just yesterday:
July 8, 2015 - Statement generated
July 9, 2015 10am - Points not showing yet
July 9, 2015 4pm - Point showing on account - transferred to Avios

I don't know if this could be useful to anyone for their MS, but, one might want to look at tiomobilepay versus Plastiq when it comes to cost.
$2.99 for $350 (or 3.99 for 500) at tiopay versus 2.5% at plastiq.
I do not know if they do accept CT, but, for roughly a cost of 0.35% it seems one could MS. (0.85% cost - 0.5% reward from CT and earn miles/points in the process). Anyway, just for the MSers out there... If this works, I have not checked (nor will).
