Tried to update just now to a new close date of the 25th to match my other cards, but won't close until 01/25. Not sure if that will impact reimbursement.

I purchased $100 on my PRG Dec 2. I was told last night to wait up to 14 days. Seems no rep can come up with the same answer.

This is a bit worrisome! seems like purchases after Dec 1 are taking longer than usual to post. And this seems consistent in the UA and DL threads as well. I just got the PRG in order to take advantage of a year's worth of fees, but yikes! I'm gonna go select AA right now.

Yeah I'm holding tight on AA GC until some of these Dec 4th or 7th people confirm they are being reimbursed. Has something changed? from Sept to Nov everything seemed smooth.

This happened in August this year as well, didn't get resolved until after the new quarter started in September. Amex keeps having problems this year.

I saw that, were they eventually credited or did people lose out until they fixed it?

I just selected AA as my airline of choice. Should I wait at all for that selection to propagate through the system before trying to make a purchase?

Let's say I make a purchase in December that should be qualified for reimbursement. But because of system delays, reimbursement doesn't land until January. Will I still be eligible for $100 credit in 2016 if the purchase was $100 and made in the calendar month of December?
