I've got few months until my QF anniversary and I don't want points to post before that point. If you've had some recently, how long did it take? I have of course read the ts&cs, which say min spend in sixty days, points posted 'within three months' of meeting that. Cheers.
 
The bonus points generally get posted within a day or two of the first statement date after you’ve met the spending criteria.

Don’t want points to post yet. I’s there something more that you can share?
 
I paid my first months bill a week ago, and have hit the spend requirement for the bonus points in the month. The normal points have been credited but no bonus yet? Does anyone know when I should expect the bonus points from their own experience?
 
Do bonus points get detailed on the credit card statement? Or do they just turn up in the customer's Qantas FF account unannounced?
 
I actually just called NAB and they told me the points are sitting there and will arrive at the end of the statement period which is when they do the transfers. So basically end of month 2.
 
Datapoint: NAB Rewards Signature (the generic one, not a QFF-sweeping one)

  1. Applied early Sep; initially declined
  2. Pushed for review; finally approved two weeks later, right before departure to NZ (had to activate Google Pay without receiving the physical card, and absurdly, some places in NZ don't take contactless so got stiffed)
  3. First statement issued about 14 days after approval (maybe ~1 month after initial app?); spend target reached but very close to statement date, and no bonus
  4. Second statement issued a month later; 130k bonus points visible in account same day (will get another 50k if I hold until first anniversary)
