Both the purchase and the refund show as pending in my Citi account. How do I know whether this triggered the Splurge Credit? Am I understanding correctly that it doesn't post until the statement cuts (which in my case is Jan 12)? I don't know whether I still have it to use and need to try re-ordering or going in-store to buy a GC.

Would appreciate any advice.
Any chance you are abroad or were using a commercial VPN? Best Buy hates those from my experience.
