Hi all - just wanted to throw another DP.
Applied on 11/23 via 100k leak.
Tried UA GR $200 on 12/03, $200 charge posted 12/05, waited til 12/09 w/o credit., doesn't look like it coded correctly to trigger reimbursement (via Plat's benefits tab, still shows $200 credit for 2016).
On 12/09, via chat, changed Carrier to WN. 12/10 purchased 2 SWA $100 GC via link in wiki. Charges posted as of 12/12 (dated 12/10/16). Will report back this week if 2x100 gets refunded. Thanks for this thread - very useful.
LATE EDIT 12/25/16: Travel Credit POSTED on 12/12. It's still alive! Definitely recommend doing the charges as two separate $100 tx's.

Reason: Card used was AmEx Plat.
