Maybe it's in this thread but I'll just go ahead and note that I can confirm the Airbnb credit is posting for $100 gift cards from Airbnb.com, we've had a bunch of them post.
But they won't post automatically like a credit for a regular booking transaction will. You've got to call in/online chat with a CSR to nudge it along. All my conversations have gone something along the lines of "I made a qualifying purchase per offer T&C's, but didn't get the usual email confirming the offer usage post purchase...so wanted to check on that". CSR checks on their end, does something like applying the offer to your purchase, and tells you the credit will post in 3-5 days. Usually hits in 2-3 days.
This has been a good offer for me, getting our UT ski condo booked for $650 off list price was a windfall. Thanks AMEX/Airbnb!

Did anyone use the $10 off $20 Uber ride yet? I've done it a few times and still have not received the email from AMEX stating I've redeemed the offer. I made sure to add the correct CC in the Uber App before using.

This is encouraging. Did you happen to run into any clueless CSR's? I thought for sure they would start with the "please wait 90 days".

Worth a call. I took an Uber to the airport and had the email by the time I got through security. Charge posted the next day, credit the day after that.

What are your plans to insure that your $ 50 statement credit posts prior to the date Amex posted in the offer's t&c's?

I just finished an online chat with an Amex CSR regarding the Airbnb offer. They told me that there is a "known problem" with that offer and that they would take care of everything for me. Supposedly I should see the credit within 5 days on all three cards that I used.
Based on the conversation, Amex is apparently well aware of the issue. I'd assume that they'll get this fixed eventually. But if you don't want to wait, it seems like a 5-minute chat will get things straightened out.

Loved the Advance Auto Parts offer, $20 off of $50--basically a 40% discount! (Offered on both my and my wife's card, so $40 off of $100. Couple that with their rewards program and an instant rebate on some premium wiper blades, and we ended up with about $150 worth of stuff for $60.
New wipers--front and rear, on both vehicles (which they installed righ then and there, free), 2 gallons of the expensive washer fluid, a bottle of Febreeze Auto, an emergency roadside kit, a can of tire shine, a bottle of chrome wheel cleaner, and a bag of Ice Melt to round one of the purchases up to $50...Quite happy with all of the stuff we got.
Credits posted a tad slow, relatively speaking...About 4 days for us on both cards...But not complaining, just reporting.

Bosch.
Bosch.
Nothing else but Bosch (specifically, their premium 'Icon' line). I've been using them for 10+ years. I've tried others, often just tearing them off when they're a week old, going back to an auto supply store with my tail between my legs, sucking it up and spending double or triple versus the cheapest brand, and never regretting it.
They clean and clear like no others I've tried. They're by far the best at faster highway speeds--I tend to do 80-85, and they hug the windshield quite well. No streaks (unless a foreign object like bug fragments or bird doo gets stuck in the blade).
I can easily get a full year+ out of them. Like now, I'll probably change the pairs I just put on after NEXT winter or midway through...Give or take. And this is in a harsh Michigan winter nonetheless.
79% on Amazon give them 5-stars. I give them 5 stars. From what I read, they're OEM on BMWs and other premium makes. They're probably the most expensive ones in Advance, AutoZone or O'Reilly's--but even if you only get a year out of them--It's what, amortized at $2/month for the pair more than the cheap Rain-X ones?
(I do not work for Bosch, I own no stock in Bosch and am not affiliated with Bosch. There are just certain brands I love for certain things, and Bosch takes the cake for wiper blades--that's all
).

If you live in a warm/hot climate, I'd definitely recommend Michelin. My last Bosch wipers performed very poorly. ANCO Contour surprisingly lasted a year, and wiped much better than Bosch.
