Some will charge now; some will charge partial now and some will charge at checkout.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Any way I can lock in/cash out/sell the $200 travel credit on my card before it expires? What do you all do if you don’t travel?
If you are trying to get my attention/assistance and I'm not responding, please feel free to PM me. :)

Is there anything more than just charging a clear yearly membership to a platinum card needed to receive the credit?

Read DDMS?

Only mentions airline fee and hotel fee credit, nothing about the travel credit.

Is that why I was charged this month? So I need to cancel membership?
