Doesn't code as travel with visa.
Thanks.
Any other way for a quick chap and close the card like my annual Dec/Jan routine with plat. upgrade?
Amazon GC would be ideal, if there are no better options I could go for Uber credit with MPX, better than nothing...

It codes directly as the merchant, not the vendor, which is why they say it's working.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It would not work for Amazon. It'd possibly work for Uber.

Exactly as it sounds. And not an automatic deduction.

A one time payment (as opposed to the automatic payment that you are charged when your balance goes below a certain amount).

I  just spoke to chase customer service, they said they changed the policy and you have the whole 2017 to spend the $300 from 2016 along with your $300 from 2017.  That means that if you already  spent $300 in 2016 then you will get the additional $300 as before in 2017.  But, if you opened  your reserve in 2016 and did not have a chance to spend your $300 in 2016 for the first year only it will carry over to 2017 and you will get a $600 credit in 2017.  This can alleviate some of the pressure that you have to spend the $300 credit before the end of the year, the whole statement generating thing doesn't matter anymore .
