It says "on your card anniversary" but does that mean the date you applied / were approved for the card? Or the date of your first statement, such as when the fee posts? What gives?
If it's the date of the statement on which the fee posts...that would SUCK! That means I'll have to wait until mid/late November...another month closer to when we want to travel. I applied (and was instantly approved) for the card on 10/26. When can I expect the cert to show up in my DL wallet??
EDIT: I actually see it says "it will be available in your renewal month." Is that going to be my Oct statement then? That would be cool...
How do you mean you've found the same?
In my post, I did a search using the actual BOGO cert currently sitting in my SkyMiles account. This is slightly different from just searching and looking for 2 matching LUTXV fares available for sale, since there are some reports that not all LUTXV fares are eligible (though in my experience there hasn't actually been a difference, so YMMV).
My certs have always posted right about when Amex posts the renewal fee to my account. This is not necessarily when the statement closes..usually sometime in the month leading up to that statement.
