Called because I did not get reimbursed for it and wanted to see if calling may fix an error.
The real folks giving it away are those posting it in public on their blogs.
Why would you call? Unfortunately it is nervous people like you that ruin these deals. The T'S&C's clearly state GIFT CARDS are NOT ELIGIBLE. If you can't afford to handle a loss, or wait, don't call and ruin it for other folks.
There is no error, and charges and credits can not post at the same time. The A/L needs to submit the authorization request, then the airline settles with the credit card association, then the charge posts to your account, and THEN Amex systems detect the charge and issue credit. This process takes a few days at minimum.
Signed...Someone that works for a credit card association for the past 30 years! And yes Virginia, the Associations have social media teams that periodically check the internet for posts like these, after they receive a call with a "tip", like you placed.
