Anyone else noted delays on this TF? I TFd from Amex on Sat and as of this (Mon) evening, no sign of the TF in my Velocity account

I did mine yesterday and it came through pretty much instantaneously (including the 20% bonus points).

I've had an AMEX lowly GREEN card for 40 years. Costs almost nothing a year at $70, and the 1.5 miles I get per $ spent are surprisingly good, as I do not need the free flight option or lounge access of the $1000s pa cost Plat cards. Free travel insurance is the main benefit for me.

Just did a trial 2000 points transfer now and instantly saw 1150 points into Velocity so the 15% appears to work on all cards?
