Ending earlier than 25th?
Miles have been posted very regularly for the past two years, usually between the 4th-8th. I receive those this month but then another bunch of st miles posted on 7-17. I'm hoping they didn't cut it off before the date advertised, the 25th.
Anyone else had st miles post ahead of time?
Thanks from DB, FLA.

hmm, now i joined the club of early-milers... Just had miles posted on 22 (marked as 21). The amount does not match any combinations prior to that date, and its less then half of what I should have received this month.
The other half actually all posted to ST on 21...
it would really suck if they cut it off early.

I almost want to tabulate if people with early postings are in/out of state, but with only 1.5weeks left till official posting - not sure its worth it.
Any way, if you feel like it, please say if you are in/out of ST states if your miles posted early.

miles from about July 4th (last posting to Delta) to 22nd posted on 22nd (Oregon). A bit odd for sure. Hopefully just a transaction volume issue or ? I can see them being overwhelmed by transactions and balance draining en mass these final hours. May look like a run on the bank! 
The online tax payments and utility charges have each taken a few days to post after immediately showing as "pending". They show current date during pending period, but seem to be posted on original (or nearest business) date of the transaction. I had trouble with a pending online transaction done in the late afternoon blocking my ability to do a debit transaction for the full daily limit the next day until I reduced the next day's transaction by that pending amount. The rep took a while to determine that that was the issue, trying to insist that the vendor not accepting the payment was the issue.

7/25 is an odd date for the cutoff. It's a Saturday, not the end of the month, and not the 4th or 5th when miles post. For this reason maybe the real date is 7/31. They could be telling us 7/25 to account for the lag in transaction dates. Just some wishful thinking probably...

With my final 3k state tax payment made today 4 hours ago, my account has a whopping $2.68 remaining (do have $3,000.00 in linked savings to avoid the monthly fee). Interesting side effect of the upcoming Saturday 7/25/15 deadline for at least me is that I am highly motivated to run the account to near 0 today.
Today is the final day for online transactions to post before that deadline I hope!?!

Does anyone think that transactions on 7/25 (even pending) that post prior to 8/4 will get points? Just curious. I may blow it out if I can re-fund ST account by tomorrow.
