Quite correct.
I wish the vaunted travel bloggers and other online luminaries would hyper-actively promulgate this nuance, before people deliberately put charges on their cards before their December closing date mistakenly thinking they'll be credited.
I got conflicting answers on the travel credit. Some told me I am grandfathered and I should get another credit now some here are saying I won't get the credit.
Again, card applied in Aug 2016, paid fee and got credit in Sept 2016. My card got renewed on Sept 1 2017 and AF $450 charged on Sept 1, 2017. I made travel purchase and got posted on Sept 2nd 2017 but today is 8th and no travel credit received! I was too early for to make the travel purchase to get the credit or
I just won't get credit this year? I am stuck with $450 AF?
