Everyone with such questions all over FlyerTalk, please stop using the word "spend"!
I'm sure the retention offer your got
did not use the word "spend'. I'm sure it used the word "
purchases", and I bet if you had only realized that, then you would have had the answer to your own question. (Is a statement credit a purchase?)
Every day or two I see a question from someone on FT which is asking 'does this count toward spend", when the answer be obvious if the question was correctly asked as "does this count as purchases"?
For example, a couple of days ago in another thread someone was asking if "cash advances" counted as spend. "Cash advance" is obviously opposite of "purchase" to a credit card company, but that's only obvious if you use term "purchase" instead of "spend".
