Yup
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Are we sure those this late to the game will be getting a Dec statement. I know it should close on the 27th but will it be skipped?

Travel credit posted after statement date
« Reply #166 on: December 12, 2016, 04:49:54 PM »
My travel credit (for Porter Airlines gift certificate) posted on the 9th, for a purchase initiated on the 7th. My statement closed on the 8th and credit is posting to 2017, not 2016. Rep says everyone is complaining about similar thing but they can't do anything.

Suggestions anyone?

Having been the DP of ezpass not working, I should report back that I have tried again and it worked this time.

Seems the one charge that didn't credit was a fluke. I can't complain because they say ezpass is not coded as travel.

My travel credit will not go to waste and everything is good in the world.
If you don't care why would you comment?

 To get credit it has to do with when billing cycles closes or as long as charge made in 2016?

I'm saying both. It has to POST by the time the Dec. Statement closes.  If your statement closes on the 1st of every month you would have to finish by Dec 1.
