I was approved Dec 27 for sportsman guide visa, dec 30 for Amex Ed and dec 31 for chase freedom not one of them have reported yet.
It is not unusual for accounts to take a month or even 2 to report. The only major issuer I know of that reports within days is Barclays. Most other issuers take their time. Both Amex and Chase tend to report around when the first statement cuts from my experience, but I have never paid very close attention to it.
My Sportsman's Guide experience: Applied 6/11, received&activated card 6/23, and got the new account alert from Cap One tracker on 6/27. My statement date is the 17th.
Chase Freedom: Approved 6/05, activated 6/12, and got the new account alert from Cap One at the same time as Sportsman's on 6/27. Cap One must batch them up because I doubt they reported on the same day. Unfortunately I did not have any quicker monitoring going at the time.
Amex will probably take their sweet time. Which isn't always bad.

You can add BoA/FIA to that list, they report within a few days.. Synchrony will report within days as well but they are not a prime issuer.
Citi reported within days for me, and I was approved for two AMEX, one last night, and one on 1/07 and of course neither have reported.
Sportsmans usually reports on Fridays. Your statement will cut about 4 or 5 days after your due date, then will report the Friday after the cut. I was anxious too my first month, but it will get there. Good Luck
after the account opens the cut of the statement it should report. i had a little trouble with discover where it didnt report, called them twice and they told me they sent the info manually. and a few days later it was reported as a new acct and the whole deal.
Chase and AMEX are dog slow at reporting.
Synchrony, Commenity, Barclays are pretty quick.
My guess would be your Sportsman reports first, then Chase, then AMEX
