I got the email and there is no link or registration - it just says you will receive the bonus when you meet the spend

How Long To Post
Does anyone have experience with the time needed to post the bonus miles?
I need the miles to ticket an award, and I would like to do it ASAP.
I asked Barclays and they gave a stock answer "Will be posted 6-8 weeks after September 30" (my promotion is for July/Aug/Sept.). Does anyone know how long it will really take? If I hit the $1250 for Sept. earlier in the month, will it speed things up?

looks like my card is going in the drawer until I get one of these promos

We got lucky on this. I got my card in about April and got the $1250 promo for July-Sept; Mrs. Redtop got hers in about July and got the $750 promo for Sept-Nov. My card would be in the drawer otherwise too.

Definition of "month"
Does anybody know whether this spending is for monthly billing cycles or for the actual calendar months? My billing cycle ends in the middle of month, so I'm sure I didn't get to $750 for this month's bill.
I'm hoping they track the spending for the entire calendar months of Sept., Oct., and Nov. regardless of when your billing cycle ends. Thanks. New to this site and to DM.

Another data point for those who care, I got the card in June and made one purchase. Paid it off and put it away. I got the offer (15k miles for $750 each month Sept-Nov). My roommate got card around the same time and has been using it frequently, he did not get the offer.

Would love to hear of anyone utilizing Amazon Payments as goods/services for this promo. I just received the offer for $750 spend per month for Oct, Nov, & Dec.

I have never received this offer in the past. I've just received my 10K PQM bonus this week. I'm not going to use my card for the rest of the year. Let's see if they give me this offer now.

Just got this offer. App'd card late Jul, charged to it once in early Aug, and sock drawered it. Sweet! Time to spend $750 * 3 for each month of Q4

In January, it's going right back in the sock drawer

Good! My wife and I each have the card, and we weren't using them until we got the promo. Since we're "running out" of good credit card churns, we figured we'd play along with this promo. A bit annoying to have to watch the calendar though. On the first of every month, we move all our spend to these cards and then shut them down when we get to $750. I hope we don't screw up. We're going by "calendar months" since that's how the promo literature seems to read, and I sure hope the bonus miles post without hassle.
BTW, I'm assuming the charges have to POST within a calendar month, right? Since it sometimes takes charges a couple days to post, we've basically been ending our spend on about the 26th of each month to make sure the charges post during the calendar month. A bit of a PITA.
