I don't believe there is a time limit on how long you CAN wait before filing a TT. The bigger issue is filing too soon. It actually causes more issues when it is filed early then when it is filed late. These shouldn't be used as a way to remember what you have purchased. I think that these are being looked at as no big deal and being used as a means of communication. What everyone needs to realize is that they are only handled by Miss Angie now and she can only look them over and submit them for you. If you have an issue that Tricia or Cindy needs then it is better to use a different means to contact them about the issue. I seriously wouldn't even consider submitting ANY TT unless told to do so by Tricia before 7 business days or 10 days. There are credits that come quicker than that but there are so many more that are taking at least 10 - 14 days to come in. I had a travel shopping credit that I did on 12/8 that showed up 2 days ago. I think that if we continually submit TT's to merchants before they have the opportunity to fully upload all of the credits they have then we may be looked at as impatient and a pain to deal with. I know it is aggravating and hard to track orders that you make once you get past the 7 day mark but I just keep a pad next to the computer and mark all purchases on it. I try not to file any TT's unless it has been 2-3 weeks. I realize that may be a long time but I haven't had to file one since the ELF purchase I made and that was because none were crediting. I think a much better way to handle it is to request about how the merchant credits in the shopping section. This way, if others are having issues with crediting from that merchant than Tricia can see the trend and respond accordingly. This will also help you to know if it is one that takes a while to credit and you can hold off a little longer on filing the TT. Noone is trying to make it hard for you guys to get credit by making you wait. If anything it will make it quicker and easier to get credits if only those who had issues with the transaction (i.e. cookies) are filing them and Angie isn't chasing down credits that would have come in on their own in a few more days.
