From what it seems like the fun is over with gifted tb unless you call and say that you used it for baggage etc.

if I chose an airline after I booked a ticket but the charge is still pending, will that trigger the credit?

I also did not get United credit back in 2024 for Dec 18 TB gifted purchase and tried calling and chat but was denied.

I tried chatting again and credit was issued.  I also did not have tell them what the purchase was for!

never hurts to try again

Reports on FT too seem to indicate a late Feb cutoff date. There are reports of other credits though as well, not just airline credits. I am personally waiting on Dell credits from the 18th as well, which is quite unusual for Amex.

And I'm waiting for a signup bonus for spending that was completed on the 18th...

That's because the zip code doesn't match. Try saving it to your account first because then it asks you for the zip code of the card.
