When doing $100x2 in a transaction it will always post as a $200 charge. It's not a problem, the TC should post

It's my 1st time using this credit. Is it normal to take so long to post? what's the average posting time?

The charge posted immediately as pending and 2 days later as complete. With a 12/31 date.

I wonder why the credit didn't post yet. What's the standard time for the credit to post?

Or you can tell them to add the credit manually for the charges.

Amex reps don't have authorization to manually credit until 14 days.

Basically a friend bought 2 $100 sw gc and credit didnt post....called in to have manager do it manually and she asked what he I purchased. He said baggage fee and she said she has to verify because she only see on sw a 75 baggage fee and not 100 so she has to speak to her manager. How should he proceed?

Did anyone else have this problem, that the $100 SW GC did not post?
I did it a few monthes ago and it posted, maybe in "2019" Southwest caught on and stopped it?

Mine didn't post yet. what date did you charge it?

I just checked on Amex online and the transaction description when I expend it, is "Miscellaneous Tax(S)/Fee(S), So I assume it will be okay

If I booked a basic Southwest fare besides for the Early Bird Check in, is their any other services I can pay for using my Amex and get a refund?

Second Q: If I booked a United Basic Economy ticket anyway I can use my Amex to upgrade my flight experience?

Time to choose a airline for 2019...

I'm thinking of JetBlue, but as Mosaic I get free drinks and luggage... And I don't see GC as an option.

Will even more space seat upgrades work toward the $200?

JBA dosnt sell gc. It should as it is a upgrade make sure you add it after you purchased the seat, taxes to Cancun worked for me as well.
