This is very common from Amex, especially for the past 2 years:

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.

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.

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.
