I mean, technically, you entered into a contract with the company (Blackhawk) when you purchases the 5back that you would get that 5% if used at a participating store. It is an enforceable contract. So it is similar to not getting a paycheck until a couple days after payday because your company screwed up payroll. Not necessarily money out of your wallet, but it prevents money from going into your wallet. I understand the point you are trying to make, but thats not the best analogy since they legally owe you the money.

....and I think the 5% will be paid -eventually- or I wouldn't bother.
Same. I usually wait until 10 calendar days have passed, then open tickets for those that have not posted by then.
