Prestige Card- Timing of Travel Credit
I mistakenly thought my annual fee would not be assessed til July. As I am not utilizing the value of the Prestige card I was planning to cancel (unless I was able to score an awesome retention bonus having been twice unsuccessful at that but having kept the card nonetheless). I have left a good portion of the $250 annual travel credit untapped. I had planned to make a travel purchase of some sort this month. Will I still be able to count on the travel credit? My next statement should close around 7/3 and my autopay for my June statement which includes the $495 annual fee is scheduled for 7/1. The $11 travel credit I received (for a restaurant purchase) posted the same day my June statement closed. So I am wondering if my "travel year" in terms of my statement credit ended the date my annual fee assessed or the date when it is due.
