I'm not sure if we are the rare exception or if they changed something, but the CSR points that just posted to the account this week (so mid-October) were from a card opened on a DD at the beginning of July. MSR was met when we were overseas in August. They didn't post when we met MSR and they didn't post when the statement closed showing we met MSR. They showed up as pending at that point (which is where my AMEX MRs are at the moment). They only posted when the check itself was cashed (and of course, we paid on time). Maybe I'm misunderstanding things, or maybe Chase just doesn't like us.
You'll recall that Chase delayed signup bonuses across all their cards starting in about mid-August through early-September. Some speculated it had to do with Chase wanting to defer bonuses going pending and posting to keep rewards liability off their Q3 balance sheets, later speculation turned to Chase holding points in limbo as they were trying to clamp down on double dipped cards. Lots of theories about what happened.
Regardless, if you met your MSR sometime in August, it's very likely your signup bonus got caught up in this, didn't go pending in August or post with your August/September statement; but was instead delayed until points started showing pending again in September, in which case they won't have posted until the close of your September/October statement.
