Keep a single activity log with separate sections for flights, card transactions, and partner activity. The cited guidance says flight points and status credits depend on where the traveler flies, the airline chosen, and the fare purchased, and are earned on each eligible flight segment in the booking. Nothing in that guidance establishes how card transactions or partner activity are tracked or calculated, so those entries need separate confirmation.
Check the flight entries
Record the date, route, airline, purchased fare, and whether each flight segment is eligible. Use the applicable flight earning table to check the route, airline, and fare for each segment. Keep eligible segments on separate lines instead of assigning one assumed rate to the whole booking.
Compare the log with the account’s flight history. If an entry does not match, retain the itinerary details and review the applicable program terms before changing the record.
Track card and partner activity separately
For each card transaction, record the date, transaction type, amount, and any points entry shown in the account. For partner activity, record the partner, date, activity type, and any corresponding account entry.
These details support reconciliation, but they do not establish eligibility, a calculation method, or a posting rule. Check the applicable card and partner terms separately rather than applying flight rules to them.
Confirm what remains unresolved
Before treating a transaction as an earning event, confirm:
- the route, airline, purchased fare, and eligibility of each flight segment;
- whether a card transaction qualifies and what calculation applies;
- whether partner activity qualifies, where it is credited, and what calculation applies; and
- when and how the entry appears in the account, including any exclusions.
The cited flight guidance answers the flight portion, but it does not resolve the card or partner questions. If the log and account record differ, keep the original transaction details and ask the relevant program to explain the entry.
