Amex Bonus Signup Bonus timeframe

I've completed the requirement (1k Spend) and I'm wondering how long does it take Amex to give me my sign up bonus? They seem to be quite slow with adding points to balances.

I believe it's the first 3 months. Don't think I will hit it myself.

 

EDIT: Sorry I misread your question. Hopefully it shows on the next bill close for you.

I got my points on two cards within a day or two of crossing the threshold. They should be posted by Monday or Tuesday assuming you met it late last week.

+1

If I remember correctly it showed up at first statement closure for my DW's BCE. Of course, she already had more than $1000 spend on that card by the time. 

Recently she referred a friend for BCE and she got the $50 bonus showing in her reward dollars the next day after her friend's approval.

Just probably did the same one you did.  PRG 1k spend for 50k points.  It litterally posted like a week after I made the qualifying purchase.  My everyday bonus with them took a bit longer though.
