so weird with AA different gc purchases posted as different things, not all triggering the credit.

I was just about to buy AA, but this is giving me pause. Let me know if it gets resolved.

So you got the credit x 2 ? Are you 100% sure that you did another purchase earlier? How long between the 2 purchases? Thanks

The $50 Delta worked for me in December, so it has been 14 days and no credit?

no i did not get the credit 2x. i dont know why you assumed that from my comment. i was just trying to say that i got the credit for a 200$ gc contrary to popular belief that only 100$ gc would trigger the credit.

a friend of mine also bought recently a single $200 AA GC and got the credit automatically.
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

What are JetBlue gift cards?
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 works, just you get a clawback, which can take place a while later.

In that case, it doesn't work. New MS method: Buy 100k worth of stuffs. Returns said stuffs. Make lots of points. Claw back will happen later, don't worry.
