Exactly. Login and look at the recent MR activity. Did I misunderstand your question?
I don't want to see my activity in general, I want to be able to see. How much a particular purchase gave me. Chase tells you how many UR points you earned along with the vendor for each transaction. All I see on my MR account is a list of MR additions to my account, and for my BP specifically, it's added by statement total.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

Once the points post to your account, you can go to that line and click to see the details of bonus points earned on that statement by transaction. If you didnt earn bonus points you wont see it.

It says here that it applies also to travel agents (online travel agents)

most travel agents let the airline charge, just ask to confirm
"why not support them"

I was responding to this:
So how do people know if they've earned for their pay with points flights? Add all my transactions for the month?
which can be seen in the MR site.

-Buying, selling, or trading of miles and points are not allowed.

Does this include offering to book a flight using points?

If you make a habit of booking tons of flights for random people, they may catch on. Occasionally booking for others shouldn't be a problem. Not speaking from experience though.

used "airline incidental fee" on December 31 and they posted on January 1. it said my credit was used up for 2017. I chatted with two different people and each said i would get the credit for 2017 but i have to get in touch when i used it up again. so i used it up on baggage fees now and asked amex if they can credit it. they said a supervisor will give me a call back... they also asked if i have a receipt, i should submit that...

anyone have experience with this?
