I applied for renewal on Jun 3, 2019 (~2 months before my GE expires).

Based on this forum’s posts, my GE should be good for 6 months (or 1 year, according to a later forum post) beyond the expiry date.

However, when I went through the GE kiosk this weekend, the screen stated that my GE expires in 22 days.

Hopefully, I’d get conditional approval before the 22 days are up.

I think technically your GE does “expire” but the benefits will be extended while they are processing your renewal application. Probably easier to build in the extension than reset to a new expiration date. In the meantime, based on the posts here, I wouldn’t hold out much hope you’ll get approval in the next 22 days. The trend seems to be either fairly immediate approval which you didn’t get or you get put in the 100+ day pending review wait. We’re at 93 days with no idea when we’ll get unstuck. Luckily we applied for renewal well ahead of our February/March 2020 expiration dates.

Good to know.

My GE was already expired when I used the kiosk last Saturday (8/24). So, that “expires in 22 days” message on the screen made no sense to me.

Oh, wait. It does make sense ... “expires in -22 days”.

Ok. The expiry date extension does work!!!

Looks like the “expires in -22 days” is the system’s method of tracking continuing GE benefits while under renewal review. I’d guess if the reverse countdown gets to -180 days (maybe -365 days if the extended period is correct) then there’s a real problem.

My wife’s and my renewal apps are both pending. We both applied on 5/24. Hers expired this past July, mine will expire next April. It’s now been over 3 months since our application, at what point should we try to contact them?
