Transferred 25k from HSBC Mexico on June 10. No bonus yet as expected.

The 20,001 threshold is silly for those programs that force you to transfer 1k at the time.

if I make the transfer today will I still get the bonus? Or is it based on point posting date?

Has anyone got any bonuses yet? I did a bunch of transfers starting 2nd June. As Per T&C's I guess mid july onwards in when they will post. Will share on here as and when they do and will request others to share their experiences with this.

Hi folks,

Here is a data point that might help some of you.

I have a US Citi card which I have used to transfer 100,000 points to my QR account. The transfer was done on June 30 (i.e. last day of the offer) and it was instant. However, the bonus (i.e. 40,000) didn't get posted until today. Thank you QR and Citi! You both have made my day

There were quite a few who had their June transfers screwed up, and these were finally posted on 7 July evening GMT onwards without the bonuses (bonuses came just a few hours prior).

A few of us spoke to QR and got the same reply. They acknowledged that they could see our transfer dates (somewhere only QR staff could see) were clearly in June and way before the end of June, and they promised that the bonus components for these transfers that were made asunder would be made good within the 45-day window where these bonus miles were due.
