sorry for saying that but IMHO,
CONFIRMATION EMAILS ARE BS

I received confirmations on all my cards, including one au card THAT I NEVER USED FOR A PURCHASE!!! just registered it but didn't use it since I appearantly lost this particular card so I couldn't charge on it w/o the security code.
still amex sends me an email thanking me for shopping SBS?????????
looks like its somehow an automatic generated email for all `registered‘ cards not necessarily cards used to `purchase’
wll if u lost it, maybe someone did the spend for u  ::)

Then it was off to Sweet Expressions where we purchased a $50 gift certificate.

I had 19 cards and when I woke up this morning I had 18 confirmation emails, the missing one, was the card used at sweet expressions. Did you get a confirmation for sweet expressions?

I got conf emails on all but 2:
1. a Citi Amex used at a store where I did receive a conf email on the other card I used there. Hope that won't be a PITA to get credited.
2. a card used at a restaurant where the food was $22.79 and the tip brought it to over $25. Problem is, the pending charge only shows $22.79.

as a general rule, when a pending charge is finalized after including the tip, when does it show up on the statement as having been processed? when the swipe was made? or when the tip was added and finalized by the restaurant staff? which in this case could mess things up if it was done after midnight!

after midnight mountain time
I don't think there is a difference what the time was in MT, i think it goes by the time zone of the merchant!
last year I used cards after 12:00 MT, I was in Los Angeles, and I got credited!

Its just so funny that no one here has patients and if they dont get conf. within a certain period of time they think its over.

Relax everyone wait a little and we will see what happens. I feel everyone is all nervous because they are used to doing things with a loop hole.

There is nothing wrong with charging 40+ cards and you will probably get the credit. Just relax and wait a couple days and enjoy your $$$ ;)
