Wondering about Travel Credits

[LuvMyBoys]

I know that the travel credits may take awhile to show up, but do they not show up at all until after the travel has occurred?

I read some other threads and it seemed like people had $0.00 show up so at least they knew it was tracked.

I did an Expedia car rental 2 weeks ago (travel will take place next week) and haven't seen anything on my account history. Is that normal?

Also I did a Travelocity hotel today (this weekend travel) so when should that show up as pending?

Thanks for any help!

Travel, IMO, seems to be one that affects everybody differently. In July I booked through Orbitz for my boss's vacation coming up in October (hotel only) and received the credits within 3 days or so. I was reallly surprised by this as I expected to wait until after they had completed the travel for anything to show up.

I've also booked packages for them (hotel/air) and had to wait until after they completed it for the credit to appear. I've never had any credits show up as others have mentioned (0.00) and then "fill in" after the fact.

I'm actually going in to make an airline reservation for them again, so I'll post that outcome if anyone is interested.

Hmm...so I guess there is no rhyme or reason to the way it credits then??

As long as it credits I will be happy!

I'm with Michael. They are all so different. And I think it depends how much money you put down on the reservations as well. You'd think they would make it easy on us but noooooooo......

Yeah, that's sort of where I am with it. I've been a VERY happy camper with it all!

I did correct my post to reference Orbitz, not Expedia.

I can totally understand that on the Expedia car rental one b/c you don't pay anything up front...........so we'll wait and see on that.

The Travelocity hotel is paid in full up front, so hopefully that one will come through quickly. It's also 10x bigger then the Expedia one, so I'm really hoping it comes through with no problems!

I did the hotel one and saw 0.00 that day and then about 1-2 weeks after completion we got our credit. It is so nice to get money back on these things we do no matter what. LOVE IT!

I had forgotten that I said I would report back on this but here's what happened.
I purchased air tickets on Sept 17 (I LOVE when the boss travels).
I noticed today that it's showing a pending credit; dated the 17th and saying credit on the 20th. I know the 20th is a few days back, but I don't remember seeing this credit before today so it'll probably fully credit on Monday when things get repopulated here.
The pending credit is a dollar amount not $0.00

Just passing on the info.

And the complete credit was there this morning.
