Yes
You selected United as your airline prior to purchasing?
What denominations did you purchase?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I selected United. I've done this many times and never had an issue.

I think it's due to a mistake on my end. I tried digging up my confirmation email from when I selected the airline. It seems like I got the email after I purchased the gift card.

What if the purchase was done prior to selecting airline of choice ? Any chance of getting the credit retroactively ? (A week apart)
It posted already. Oh well
I chatted. Rep said he would apply the credit & it should show within 2 weeks. When nothing happened I chatted again & rep applied the credit immediately.

IME If the charge was pending still , you forsure shouldn't have an issue . If it posted before selecting airline then you won't get automatically.  You'll have to chat it .

Now do the credit again.

Thanks for replying. I need to cancel this card (new app pending...at max # of cards). If I do so now, will I lose the pending points?
ETA: Should I call/chat to ask them to expedite the points?

The pending points should not fall off by cancelling the card if there are other cards attached to the same MR account. However, forsure if the card is paid off already you should be able to get the points expedited and then you can cancel just in case .

I applied for plat last week, after I canceled a previous plat., app canceled "because you have the card". But I don't.  :(
Fine, send it back to "the executive team". 3 days later "the green card with the same # is still open, so you can not have a plat".  ???
So I cancel the green card. Now, I call and the latest story is "there is a balance on that card". :o
So I pay it, and he sends it again for recon... (I ran out of emoji...)
New story now: "App canceled. Applied for too many cards..." >:(  Any suggestions?
ask them to run it again
Believe it or not, today it was approved (after multiple calls to/from a supervisor)! :D  Thanks!
