The reservation will show 2 dates dpending on which screen you are looking at. On Manage Reservations, it will show the "Date Created" as the date you did the Farelock.

After purchasing the Farelock, on the "View Current Reservation" page, it will show "This reservation was ticketed and confirmed on XXXXX" which is the date you actually paid for the ticket.
