When it resets

Every calendar month is its own window, ending on the last day of the month.

The current window closes on November 30, 2026 — 15 days from today.

How not to lose it

  • Enroll first. The terms say enrollment is required, and purchases made before you enroll generally don’t qualify.
  • Treat each month as use-it-or-lose-it. A reminder in the last week of the month catches most misses.
  • If this covers a recurring subscription, billing that subscription to this card uses the credit every month without thinking about it.
  • Don’t wait for the last day. Statement credits can take days to post, and a purchase that settles after the window closes may not count.
  • Pay with the Platinum Card. The credit only follows purchases charged to the card that carries it.
