For those that did a referral through Amex did it really take 8-12 weeks to get those points? 🥲

Mine hit instantly but not sure if it was because of how I hit my minimum spend. I hadn’t hit my minimum spend yet but I booked a hotel on the Amex app which pushed me above the minimum spend and it gave me the option to use points to pay for the hotel. Prior to the minimum spend I had 6k points but the hotel was over 150k points.

So depending on if you want to use the points to purchase something through the app you may be able to redeem them instantaneously.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall.

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried
