Calendar year, so you’re good to purchase anytime.

Another positive dp: purchased $100 AA GC 1/9, statement credit 1/13.

I also have a positive data point for AA for those exact dates ($100 AA GC)

Still not able to get Alaska main fare to automatically post. Charged a $48.6 to the card on the 16th and nothing yet.

Bought AA 100$ GC on 2 different cards on 01/21. Credit posted on 01/24.

12/27 American airlines charged $100 gift card. Bill posted 1/24, still no credit...
I'm thinking we may have to call soon

When you call do they ask what the charge was for and how do you respond? Only one of my UA Travel bank charge for $50 from December was reimbursed.

I should've clarified my initial post. When I've had other account issues with Penfed, unrelated to airline credits, I've always had better luck calling compared to emailing.
I've never had to call regarding an airline credit not posting. In 2022, my $100 AA gift card posted in a few days, but in 2020, it took around 8 weeks, but did post eventually, automatically, without having to call.

I hate waiting for credits to post and like immediate gratification, but if you fly United enough, you could just do another $50 Travel Bank charge and see if it also reimburses in a few days, or you could just wait another 4-5 weeks and see if the one you already did credits automatically.

What I didn't explain in my previous post was that I got the card via expedited mail on December 27, 2019, specifically hoping to utilize the 2019 credit. I purchased two $50 AA gift cards on December 29. Then, I purchased 2 more AA gift cards on January 1st and 2nd 2020.

2 $50 credits showed up on January 3rd and nothing else. I figured my 2019 gift card purchases didn't post quick enough and the 2 $50 credits were for my 2020 charges. However, 2 months later, I received 2 more credits for $50. For whatever reason, the gift cards I purchased in 2020 took over 2 months to be reimbursed, but I still got the credits. Good Luck.

Quick update, the credit for $48.6 eventually posted automatically

02/03 - 2 AA Flights to CUN, purchased w/ miles, taxes/fees for 36.75x2=62.30

02/04 - charges posted

02/07 - AIR TRVL CRDT 100 PER YR ALEXANDRIA VA posted for each

Could you please share if you got credit automatically or if you had to call? And if you had to call, what did you ask (since GCs are not under the list of eligible purchases)?
Thanks!

p.s. if anybody has a DP from 2022 for GC - please share, thnx :rolleyes:

I purchased 4x100 AA GC so far on 4 different cards and received credit.

Reporting DP:
100 AA eGF. Took few days to reimburse!

how can you get 4 cards of this? I thought one customer is limited to one card

I had this card and their premium travel rewards amex card before. So when they discontinued that card they converted it to the Visa. So between P1 and P2 we ended up with 4 of them.

I had the Amex Penfed before, then they converted it to the Visa Penfed. Do you think I can still apply for another Visa Penfed Pathfinder? If so, will I get the bonus?
