points can be used for the AF.

Statement credits: If you have the exact number of points or more required to wipe away a charge, you can wipe away the entire charge.  If you have fewer than the exact number of points, you can only redeem in 2500 point/$25 increments.

Example: If you have an $87 charge, and 9000 points, you can wipe away the entire $87 charge.  If, however, you only have 8000 points, you can only wipe away $75 worth of the $87 charge (2500 point/$25 increments x 3).

Either way, back to the original topic, i see no reason to hold off with applying the credit for until after you cancel the ticket.

If u book a ticket for a few months later the ticket is fully refundable up to 24 hours b4 the flight so there's no rush to cancel it. Let it post, get the rstatent credit and then get it refunded.

One more question though, I have 42,00 points, if I buy a ticket for 500 bucks they will credit me 420 towards my statement?

When you do PGGM only the EC post to the CC not the actual ticket.

With my Delta PGGM the flights posted. I used a Citi card for the tickets and Platinum for the ECs.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Can these points be transferred between the fee-free and regular card?
In other words, can I apply for the fee-free card and then transfer my points from the other card to it before closing it?
At 2.2% back it is currently my best card, but considering that Freedom gives 2.09% back, it is not worth the $89 annual fee so I will probably close it at the end of the year.

This may be a dumb question but, for the refundable travel, does the purchase have to be done on the Barclays card?

The way it works is you apply the points to posted purchases on the card.

Anyone know if i can get my wife on my account and actually have it count for her credit? AFAIK it looks like they only have an AU w/o it affecting credit.

i didn't get instant approval nor denial today. I didn't call RECON.  Buddy of mine tried this and he got NINE pulls. all three bureaus pulled twice. one  for  the app and 2nd  and 3rd during recon calls. the first recon call dropped so he called and got pulled again.

WHAT A WASTE ! He could have gotten 9 pulls for 9 cards in 12 months instead.

I  applied the points to a refundable ticket and it will take 5-7 days to process.
Can I cancel the ticket now or I need to wait until the points are processed?
Thanks in advance.
