I have been billed the annual fee on my card and paid it off without receiving any points or certificates. I did some research and determined I need to spend $1 on the card, and wait for the next statement to close in order to receive my annual 40K points. I now have the 40K points, but not the annual E-Cert (I met the spending for 1 E-Cert). Have other people's E-Certs posted at the same time as the points or does it come later on? I'll give them a call if they're supposed to arrive at the same time.

Another DP here. Mine is opposite. E-Cert just came in and 40K still not there. So the answer is obviously no and hopefully we get both in the end. AFAIK you usually get 40K points 2 statement periods after annual fee.

Paid my annual fee end of last month and I'm waiting for the 40k points and free night certs.

My AF is charged each December, so I always got my 40K ( & cert. if I had earned one) in February.

I am a new Radisson person, so what you guys are saying is that e-certs come all at once, once a year, instead of throughout the year each time you spend $10k?

Correct it comes after account anniversary. For me it was Fee billed (and then paid) > 4 weeks or so later the e-certs arrived and another 4 weeks later the 40k points arrived in my account

Bumping an old thread since I have some questions on the $10k spend to get the e-certifcates. I've had the card for a while but never focused on spending more than $10k on the card since the e-cert were introduced because of the US property limit. (and because I have a lot of RR points) However since we will have 3-4 properties in NYC in the next couple of months, the potential to earn a free night with a $10k spend is on my radar so I want to make sure I understand how this works. Here is what I believe to be correct:

1. If my annual fee in 2019 was billed on the card on Feb. 4, 2019....that would be the date that my counter would start towards the $10k spend.
2. If I spend $10k by Feb. 3, 2020 (within one year after the renewal) I would get ONE e-certificate after I pay the annual fee in Feb. 2020. Naturally if I spend multiples of $10k I would get multiple free nights.
3. The e-certificates would be good for one year at ANY hotel in the US...regardless of award category.

Am I understanding this correctly? Are the e-certifcates pretty easy to redeem?
