no i enrolled, but its been stuck "in production" for 6 days, even though ship date was supposed to be 12/28. I never got automated email from Amex saying "you've used your offer", but I cannot recall if the Dell bene triggers that email, guess ill see if it ever gets out of "production".....

any suggestions from the Pros on what to get today that will trigger the credit? I know I'm super late but any gift cards or downloadable software I can get?

Does the credit still post if you use a shopping portal (eg top cash back)?
Yes and yes!

I had about $ 90 left so I bought Coral PaintShop software (download) that I may never use.

An obvious choice would be Tax software ….

Sure, if one didn't have an accountant. Point is that software downloads are a good way to use up any remaining credits if you waited too long.

Microsoft 365. Worth it just for storage alone.

December 29, 2021: Purchased $254.75 from Dell

December 31, 2021:Transaction date was changed to December 30, 2021, as it was posted in my account.

January 1, 2022: $200 credit from Dell was posted in my account but backdated to December 31, 2021.

I don't see anyone here mentioning that the dates are backdated one day earlier. Am I the only one that noticed that?

I believe Xbox Live Gift Cards are an option. Those are pretty near-cash equivalent to the right people.

Does anyone knows what will happen to a purchase that triggers the credit thats returned/canceled is the credit clawed back and usable again, remains a credit or clawed back and gone? Bought Google Workspace but had issues activating it so ive requested to have it canceled (was also told that if I didn’t activate/transfer domain to it within 15 days they would cancel and issue refund) its sounds like if it goes route 2 that the credit from Amex would post well in advance of them issuing a refund so just curious as to what will happen.

I purchased an Xbox digital GC on 12/30/21. It was fulfilled by email on 12/31/21. The purchase posted with a date of 1/1/22 with the credit coming from 2022 instead of 2021. So my date changed in the opposite direction and I lost some of my 2021 credit.

I had the exact same problem (ordered 12/30, fulfilled 12/31, posted 1/1). Is there something you're looking at that tells you it's definitely using the 2022 credit? Seems the Dell one doesn't have a counter.

Amex uses the date the charges post (the date you can see in your statement). Ordered/ fulfilled/ date you saw the transaction online ... do not matter.
