How long did it take after your statement posted, approximately?

EXACT same circumstances for me. Statement cut on Nov. 23rd. TU updated a few days later. EQ & EX still haven't updated as of today. Up till now, Barclay's has always reported promptly.

Same problem here. Just off the phone with a CSR who originally said they only reported to TU. I questioned that and she put me on hold only to come back and say that they report to all 3 when they have to and that I'd need to check with the CRAs about this.
She also kept pronouncing EX as 'experience'. That irked me.
So not much intel gained there, unfortunately.
For your entertainment, I am posting my ongoing exchange with customer service below. I think they may be using an auto response system. I just deleted my name and did a cut and paste, so read from bottom to top. And yes, I know I can be passive/aggressive, but I couldn't just let it go.

Let me try a third time: Maybe you could at least try to answer my question instead of just assuming you know what I am really asking. Both Experian and Equifax show information from the October 23rd statement. It is now well past the November 23rd statement. Why did you not update the information to Experian and Equifax after the November statement? There is no confusion on my end, only yours. I understand the information on the reports stay the same for the month. My question is why is it now 2 months?

Obviously my question was not even read. Why would I need to contact Trans Union when that is the only one that was updated? This was totaly unresponsive to my question. Sorry that I expected more. I will keep this in mind.

Is there a reason why the account information for this card has not been updated with Experian and Equifax since October?
Snarky might be a better term for my tone. And my Equifax has now updated but Experian remains unchanged.
It truly defeats the purpose of offering an email or message system for customer service when it takes a call in the end anyway, and with the added drawback of the customer not controlling when they want to have the conversation. I won't close it, just will quit using it. This isn't the only reason. They can still give me the free FICO every month. It was never my primary card but it is the one that I AU’ed my wife on for her everyday use. I cashed in just under $900 in rewards for the year so they were making money on the account.
