    It says in the offer "by the 20th of the following month" after you qualify so if you qualified last month they have 8 more days before you should follow up

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    It can be as long as it takes unfortunately, whether anyone got it faster or slower is immaterial without knowing the FD internal process - it might be that everyone gets it 30 days after, it might be always paid on the 20th, it might depend on the internal team processes and workload.

    Enjoy the money when it comes and the regular saver if you have opened it!
