DATE OF DEPARTURE
01/10
PASSENGER NAME
RECIPIENT/EGIFTA
DOCUMENT TYPE
PASSENGER TICKET

omm, so are you buying physical gift card or online e-gift certificate? I saw a lot of posts indicating buying gift card did not trigger the credit

How long till the gift registry purchase shows up as "Available Balance"? I'd like to use mine for a flight in about 9 hours but its showing up in current balance and not available balance.

My GR was available the next day after purchase.

I purchased two $100 GRs and both times it was in the available balance overnight. Both times I purchased around 6pm and when I woke up at 6am it had moved to available. Not sure it it is always overnight or just a certain amount of time but that is how it went for me.

I then went ahead and purchased $200 through the gift registry. So far, the pending charge I see on Amex is identical to the charge I see for the GC. We'll see what happens...

Update, UA did come through with the refund on the $200 GC.

However, I have not yet received the Amex credit for the $200 GR. It was posted on Jan 2nd.

Interesting, the GC purchase posted as if it was an actual travel reservation with a full ticket number. The GR purchase just says 'travel - airline'

Gift Card Registry Question
 
I bought the Gift Card for 200.00 w/o looking here and shame on me. Been three days and no reimbursement.

I just signed up for the Gift Registry. Can I gift myself the 200.00 or do I need to set up an account in a family members name.

Thanks in advance.

I gifted myself (as stated earlier in this thread) and it all worked out and AMEX credited the transaction..

GR T&C say "Accounts are non-transferable", does that mean that I can only use it for tickets in my name? Can I buy tickets for someone else with the GR balance?

You can use the GR to purchase tickets for others. Just need to be signed in to your MP account, select flights, enter passenger info and on the payment page it will list your Gift Registry with amount available.

2 x $200 GR purchases on 1/3 (two separate Plat cards)
both reimbursed on 1/6.

Still working, and no call/chat to AMEX required.
