Showed up on the "promotions" section of the "my account" summary. Mine showed me to have already enrolled in it, which I did not. I surmise that I was enrolled at the time I enrolled in the 5X grocery and gas promotion, using the link above.

This is a nice offer and I wish I could take advantage of it. Regrettably I do not expect to initiate any new reservations within the next two months. And if I do-- well, I've already got nearly $1,000 of travel credits so I'm unlikely to engage in new spend.

I was able to add the bonus to my card via the link https://www.chase.com/mybonus. Worth trying for all your Chase cards.
What is interesting about both the current Chase and Amex promotions is that they are all opt-in. Almost like they target people who obsess about credit cards.

My first SW purchases posted to my RR account back on Aug 4 and no bonus points yet, so presume they all will some time later this month. I'm waiting a couple more weeks before I inquire.
Presume they also look at purchase date to fall in 8/1-9/30 range, not date of SW purchases posting to account, so it makes sense they want to wait until after promotion period ends since statement closing dates are scattered throughout Oct that contain Sep SW purchases.

Fine print actually states 8 weeks past end of promo "Please allow up to 8 weeks after the end of the Promotion Period for bonus points to post to your Rapid Rewards account. ".

I had a similar CHASE INK 5x UR Points on Shipping up to 10,000$ spend over the same 2 months and they were credited immediately on the statement. Hit the max and them some and they calculated correctly to the penny.. Obviously UR points are Chase internal and not WN points that have to be created and sent over. But they are obviously good for it
