Just had a $50 AA GC reimbursed yesterday. I got the card last summer and maxed out the 2014 $300 last fall. I called in, didn't have a problem. I use the card often for dining purchases so I have a lot of charges mixed in. Why charge 4x50 all at once. Spread it out you have a whole year. I was waiting for the whole blogger feeding frenzy to die down.
