How not to lose it

  • This resets with the calendar year. December is when most people remember, so book early if availability is limited.
  • 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 Premium Rewards Elite. The credit only follows purchases charged to the card that carries it.
