I wanted to double dip the AMEX Bonvoy Brilliant $300 annual Marriott credit before canceling the card, but I foolishly waited too long.
I bought a $300 Marriott e-gift card yesterday, but the charge is still pending.
The problem is that tomorrow is the last day I can cancel the card for a full AF refund, and even if the charge posts tomorrow, the credit won't post until 2-3 days later in my experience.
Does anyone know if I cancel the card tomorrow, will the credit still kick in 2-3 days later, or does the card need to be actively open for the credit to apply? And if the latter, what's my best option at this point?
