Probably a better idea to wait and see if people start getting credited again before loading
Don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers

Purchased 2*$100 travel Bank on 2/19.

Talked to a CSR since its over 15 days. I was told the United transaction was coded under a code that will not result in a Travel Credit.

Probably (hopefully) fake news.
Let's wait until the other credits are working properly.
