Did your December statement close yet?
Oh, I see. That's for next year already? Oh well. :)

got my card on 11/29/16, just spoke to CSR and was told that my 1st statement won't close till 1/10/17 so whatever travel spending i do now will count towards 2017. Any way to change the close date?

How about you both try and DON'T report back? :) These types of questions should be kept off of the forums.

any data points with Metro Express Lanes (CA EZpass)? I assumed it would work, but credit hasn't posted yet, and for all the others it posted almost immediately.

Sometimes the obvious needs to be stated.
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(
