The T&C say 4-8 weeks. If you don't need the points immediately to book something, give them the specified time.

no credit

I signed up for this promo, and have gotten no points awarded...either for my first trade or for the remaining $1000 spend.

Any suggestions? I am more than willing to wait, but think that I should have received something by now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Call Amex and ask them for the SPG# used. Then verify with SPG. Amex might have opened a new SPG a/c.

This is what they did to me and my wife. SPG can verify how many SPG a/c's u have.

I received my first statement spend points, but no bonuses (10k, or 20k), yet. I confirmed that I am to recieve the 30k bonus with AmX and was quoted the 8-12 weeks. So I'm sitting in SPG point limbo.

If you didn't even get the spend points, I would contact them. If its just the bonus, they won't do anything for you until after 12 weeks.

Better yet, look at your statement. The SPG number used should be listed next to the amount of spend. We created an SPG account for my wife, used it on the Amex application, and they still created a new account for her, go figure.

Spend points have posted, but no bonus yet..

I've had a similar problem, applied on 6/30 & first spend 7/9. Just spoke with an AMEX supervisor who said the points will appear 12 weeks after 1st spend. She gave me the following promo code in case I have to recheck. Q612-0001. Previous Cust.Service people had no idea what I was talking about....ask for a supervisor when you call. It's very frustrating. Good Luck.

On my 11th week after I met my spend requirements and still no bonus, will wait 1 more week and will contact Amex.

Applied on 7/30 and reached my spend threshold in the first billing cycle. Got the regular spend points but still no bonus points.

I know some people who applied at the same time and already received their bonus miles.

Both my husband and I applied for amex business cards and after the spend amount, got our bonus miles within a week of the statement closing. However I lucked out with the 40k miles and he got the 30k miles

AMEX is making no freinds with this promo!

I applied for the Starwood AMEX in early July, then met the spend threshold by mid-July.

Since then, AMEX has failed to post my 30,000 promo bonus on the August and September statements. My October statement issues next week. If the bonus miles post then, I will have waited 13 weeks since spending the required $1000 on the card.

I'd like to see AMEX wait 13 weeks before posting a charge to my account!

30k points

I agree with catdad.

reached my spend amt about 8 weeks ago, and have not seen one bonus point. Is there something that I didn't do, or someone that I can call to get this straighened out?

Any help would be appreciated.
