When do COS Bonuses Post?
Strange thing: My 50% RDM COS bonus posted right away, but the EQM bonus didn't. Will this post later, or do I need to call?

It takes a few days for the COS EQM bonus to post. They seem to sweep three times a week, so you shouldn't need to wait more than a few days after your flight posts to get the bonus EQM's.
Then again, does it really matter? EQM's aren't really of any critical importance to the end of the year. Extra SWU's for 1K's not withstanding of course.

But no sense in waiting around if it was supposed to post but didn't...
(Although, actually, in my case it does: the extra EQMs might make the difference between hitting 1P before vs. after my SIN trip later in the year...)

Another key point: the extra EQMs actually give an extra 4 500-milers just in time for a transcon MR.
See, qasr, some UA pax don't have 500-milers coming our of their orifices at all times. They eagerly await their deposit (!).
Oh wait, that was rude. Sorry. I guess it's the 2P syndrome...
