In most cases, this means buying large amounts of gift cards or other cash equivalents when you first get your shiny new Amex.
At the very least, your bonus could take several months to post if your account is flagged for review. Everyday spending: Generally, we have found no rhyme or reason to exactly when points from spending post to your Amex Membership Rewards account. According to Amex, points are added up and posted based on transactions by calendar month.
For co-brand cards, airline miles and hotel points from standard spend are paid out at the statement close date. So if your statement closes on Jan. Keep in mind that changing your statement close date can push back your points going through for another billing cycle. Related: What to do if you have a negative points balance.
But in practice, we see points from Bank of America bonuses right after the statement closes. Related: The best Bank of America credit cards.

Once again, though, anecdotal evidence indicates that your points could show up as soon as a couple of days after your billing cycle ends. ThankYou points earned via everyday card spend should post to your account pretty soon after your statement closes. Bonus points accrued through special offers, however, could take an additional billing cycle or two to show up.
Mitchell said newly earned cash back or miles will be added to your rewards account at the end of each statement billing period. We heard this can vary based on how you redeem them, with direct deposits taking a bit longer than statement credits. Take that information with a grain of salt, though. Bank credit card customers should allow six to eight weeks or one to two billing cycles for welcome bonuses to be credited to their rewards balance once they meet the minimum spend, depending on the card.
Unofficially speaking, those points could show up shortly after your statement closing date. Pending points accumulate in your U. And in some cases as with FlexPoints, for instance it could take up to 60 days after a purchase to appear online. That said, redemption requirements vary by credit card, so you may not be able to use those rewards until you accrue the minimum.
Based on what we found online, Wells Fargo awards welcome bonuses a little differently compared to other credit card issuers. Wells Fargo Go Far Rewards show up as pending in your account until your statement period ends.
After that, points are added to your available balance and can be redeemed right away typically the following day. If you want to find out when your points will arrive, calling your card issuer is the easiest thing to do. You can also send an email through your account or use the live chat feature.
