I wondered if you could tell me how long it took Chase to post the bonus points to your account after reaching the minimum spend?“Chase is probably the best credit card issuer when it comes to posting points. They generally deposit to your account once your statement closes in the month that you hit your spend requirement (which is $3,000 within 3 months for the Sapphire Preferred).American Express will usually post the points a month after the statement closes when you meet the spend. Points go into “pending” status for a month, but if your account is in good standing, you can call and ask for them to be posted into your account if you need to use them.I only have a couple Citi cards, but I remember those bonuses posting in a relatively timely fashion - within a month of hitting the spend, though feel free to share your experience.[card card-name=‘Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card’ card-id=‘22125056’ type=‘javascript’ bullet-id=‘1’]Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
