I redeemed miles for an award ticket on 12/31 last year. I just checked my year-to-date activity and see that the transaction posted on 1/1 and the credit posted on 1/3. I also see that I wasn't reimbursed for two $8 drinks I purchased in-flight in October. Based on this, I'd say that the credit was applied towards my 2015 benefit and not 2014 like it should have. Is there any way to verify this before I purchase Delta gift cards?
