On September 20th, I requested two $1,000 transactions to be deposited to my Wells Fargo Checking account.
After 3 business days, I checked my Wells Fargo account to see if the money had posted, but it did not. I decided to wait longer and after 5 business days, it did not show up on my checking account. At this point, I was concerned and called up Bluebird customer service and they said that it might take up to 7 business days.
On October 2nd (12 days later), the two $1,000 transactions finally appeared in my bank account. Apparently, Miles Points & Mai Tais also had trouble with her Bluebird account tweeting out her concerns via Twitter.
Today, I received an e-mail from Bluebird stating that they acknowledged the delay and offered a $25 goodwill credit which was a nice gesture.

Have you had any recent Bluebird transaction delays?
What?!? I didn’t get $25 from them 🙁 I need to go check my email. In other news the money did finally show up!
Woohoo! I just got $25 too.
