Data point:
- Chatted online with Amex to switch my airline from United, stated reason was that my city was no longer a United hub so I don't use them anymore, but forgot to change my airline. The rep stated it'd take some number of days to take effect, but I ignored that.
- I purchased 2 $100 AA online gift cards with my Platinum card, in separate transactions on the morning of Friday 10/20/17, a few hours after switching the airline.
- Gift cards were able to be printed 72 hours later
- 2 separate $100 Amex airline fee reimbursements on my account are dated 10/23, though I'm pretty sure I didn't see them there the first time I checked the morning of Tuesday 10/24 around 8:15 am, but they were there around 11am. So 2-4 days from purchase 'til reimbursement, including 2 weekend days.
- There are still 2 AA transactions pending for $1 each that have been there since the original purchase. Edit: 5.5 days after the purchase and the $1 pending charges are no longer there.
