So in your example if the transaction date is Dec 31, 2022, but transaction posted in Jan 2023 and credit paid out in 2023, it should be the 2022 FHR credit.
thank you. thats what i was expecting as well. its based on txn date vs posting date. altho its much safer to just post in 2022.
however, FYI, the amex terms are very clear on this policy:
Eligible bookings must be processed before December 31st, 11:59PM Central Time, each calendar year to be eligible for statement credits within that year. American Express relies on the merchant to process transactions within the same calendar year that you made the prepaid booking in order to apply the statement credit in the calendar year that it was intended. For example, if you make an eligible prepaid booking on the last day of the year, but the merchant doesn't process that transaction until the next day, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year will be applied to the Card Account, if the purchase is eligible.
fortunately, we all know TCs vs reality are often different.
