Sure. Glad your payment made it. It is good information, and a warning for others, to know how long it took to reach your payee.
Heads up:
Alliant Visa Signature card statements closed last evening (evening of the 13th). Go collect your money. 
I picked up $250 of Alliant rewards this morning, along with over fifty reward bucks at PenFed and $25 in rewards at Citizens Bank. 
It’s payday. And with this inflation, every little bit helps.

@shinobi: I was just wondering…i have a PenFed Power Cash Rewards Card and received an email that if i spend at least $500 by Dec 31 i will get a $50 statement credit…i was wondering if you know whether they do this offer throughout the year on major holiday periods or only at the end of the year?
Sorry unable to shed light. I have not received that offer and have no information on it.
No problem…thanks…i will try getting in touch with them and see if they can enlighten me… lol 
I just got that identical offer on my USAA card. Never gotten it before.
I feel like it is annual but not every year. I might be mistaken though 
Thanks gremin007…I talked with a PenFed Chat representative…she seemed to think it was usually twice a year…one around June or so…and the other one in November (like the current one)…

Hmmmm
I missed that IRS part at first. So whatever I win will be fully taxed.
Oh, well. Still a good deal, I guess. Just not as good as tax free.

For those curious, I have sent an inquiry on when Alliant’s next annual meeting of members is planned. I will update the thread when I hear back.
Given the brouhaha from last year over closed accounts, at the very least, I’m interested in seeing what might be on the agenda for this year’s meeting.

Is anyone else seeing October transaction data in the mobile app? Freaked me out at first early this AM.
For those waiting with bated breath… I have not yet received a response from Alliant on when the next annual meeting of members is scheduled. The contracted phone reps were clueless, so I sent another secure message asking the question with the hopes of reaching an actual Alliant employee.
In other Alliant annoyances, my wife’s debit card still hasn’t arrived after requesting a replacement for the one that was stolen over 14 days ago. I noticed that just yesterday, a prompt appeared in online banking asking me to activate the card. That makes me wonder whether they sent it two weeks ago and are wondering why it wasn’t activated, or if they just sent it yesterday. I will cut them slack if it’s the former given the current state of the USPS and the time of year. However, if it’s the later, I think it’s time to finally dump Alliant and move my savings elsewhere.

Still no response from Alliant on the annual meeting of members.
I originally posted about my wife’s replacement debit card on the “best customer service” thread, but I thought it would be more relevant to add this data point here. Alliant’s replacement card finally came today, December 28. It was requested the morning of December 2.
Needless to say, this wasn’t very impressive. I’m not sure if their credit card has a similar turnaround time, but at least for their debit card, it took 26 days to get a replacement.
