What the heck. I just went back to the page after typing the previous post and entered my CC security code, state, and checking box, and hit purchase and it went through. I bought 4 x $50 for $200. I must have tried 8 times before. I guess we all know how well Delta's IT works. So if you are having issues just keep trying. It will eventually work...

Data point unrelated to the eGCs:
Used my Plat card for SkyClub entry and paid the $29 for a guest. Used the club on a Thursday. Charge posted one day later (Friday). Credit appeared the following Friday (7 days later). This credit took far longer to post than a bunch of award ticket fees I had earlier in the year, one of which was close to $70. Those all got credited within 1-2 days after posting. Club guest fee was posted as follows: Code:

Alright, a rookie question:
Planning for my first DL eGC redemption: 1. Do you have to log into your SkyMiles account to purchase them? 2. In the sender's and recipient's name, do you put your own name in both fields? 3. Pertaining to point 1 above, will the eGC be deposited into your SkyMiles account (alongwith being sent to your email) or do you have to add them manually when buying a ticket? 4. I believe it is not advisable to buy a $200 cert? Thanks! |

I'm fairly, not not perfectly, certain I have those answers correct. Good luck! |

So, I bought one $50 eGC, and the transaction went from pending to POSTED! Quick question: it shows
1. LOS ANGELES INTERN > LOS ANGELES INTERN (I believe it's LAX) 2. Document Type: Passenger ticket Is this what it's supposed to show on a posted transaction for an eGC? Thanks. Edit: Also went through the wiki, which said it is normal for it to be authorized as ticket, but will be changed in the statement. My question is, since it has already posted as a ticket, will it show up as something different in the month-end statement? And it's about a week before they post the credit, I believe? I read varying reports of the time-frame here on FT. Thanks once again!! |

I purchased a Delta eGiftCard for $50 on 4/17. The details show it as a ticket from LA to LA like AvidFlyer1990 has it. On 4/18, I get charged for $9.95 from Travel Delay services from Amex. After calling Amex, they said I was charged that because the Delta eGiftCard purchase appears as a ticket in the system. The Amex rep even read me the conditions for the Airline credit and she specifically mentioned no gift cards and she said it in a condescending way to say the least.
I know it hasn't been a week yet, but hoping that it all sorts out and I get my $50 airline credit! |
Happy to state that I have received my $50 airline fee reimbursement!! Yeeaaaaahhh!!
Purchased on 04/16 Credited on 04/20 Now, for the remaining $150 in credit!! :D |

Welcome to FT, Dags, but you broke the golden rule... NEVER CALL. Just wait a couple weeks and if it doesn't sort itself out, then post here for advice. You should be fine if all you purchased was a $50 eGC with nothing else.
