can anybody explain this from DDMS?
"–United gift registry of $100 or less per transaction: if registered for United: Register for a gift registry and create a goal in order to contribute travel funds to your United account for future ticket purchases.

Do you get AA seat upgrade credit automatically? I use to get MPX credit 2-3 days after charge posted, it's now 6 days from when the seat upgrade charge posted and i haven't gotten the credit
