I have ordered from several store sites and was just wondering how long it would take before they showed up at all even on pending. I am trying to keep straight what I ordered and what site I used. Pending would sure help

I keep a notebook next to my computer that I use to track shopping, surveys and paid offers. I would suggest that you do this so that you can remember what you ordered, when and how much you paid and what your credit will be. This will be helpful if something happens and you don't get credit automatically you will be able to see when it is time to file a trouble ticket. I would expect shopping credits to be updated before the 1st of the month since Tricia usually tries to get as many peoples credits in as possible. Now, this may not mean that all yours will come through. Some merchants don't upload credits to Tricia until the products has actually shipped. Some only upload once a week, some only at certain times of the month. If you don't see anything within 10-14 days I would file a TT. Otherwise you should see something within the next week. BTW, make sure that you are checking back to the actual date of order for the pending credits. When the credits come in as pending they post to the date of order not the date of pending. HTH!
I agree- if you are doing shopping, it's a good idea to keep track of it all. I have an Excel spreadsheet set up with all the information (merchant, date ordered, amt before tax/shipping, total amt, %back from SR, and date to file TT if credit not received). Once I receive SR credit, I highlight that line a certain color. When I get shipping confirmation, I usually enter the date I should receive the merchandise and then indicate when it has been received. I've had a few problems with receiving orders which is why I added that part. And I've been ordering quite a bit lately and it can be easy to forget something. All of this helps me to keep track of the pending credits very easily! Might be a little detailed for some, but that's the Accountant in me coming out lol! Does take the guess work out of it all though! I also have a separate folder in my e-mail for any e-mails related to shopping in case they are ever needed for a dispute- that way I don't have to search through all of my current e-mails! HTH
Another one with a notebook.
I also label all the shopping emails with "sunshine", so even though gmail doesn't put things in actual folders like hotmail does, I can skim through and see the "sunshine" labels...
Thanks for all the information. I do spreadsheets also. Especially about my trips to Disney. I make my family crazy
