I made 3 different purchases for my travel credit, each about 1 week apart: one $75 AA GC, one $70 AA GC, and one $55 AA GC. All were credited back correctly.
Do you remember how long it took to get the credit.

Looking back at my statements, the credits posted 3 business days after each purchase.
You can check FT threads for each airline to see the charges that triggered the credit recently. Most DPs are collected over there. Usually lower denom GC or even cheap flights on AS will trigger the automatic credit. You can also chat in and have something credited manually. I had AA award taxes (RT lax-hkg that totalled around $100) credited after I inquired via chat just this past spring.
You probably figured this out but TPG has a good posting on what triggers the credit.

It looks like your best bet is with southwest. (although American and Delta should work too (some DP's show not the full amount reimbursed with these two)
Delta, Southwest Gift Cards No Longer Trigger Amex Airline Fee Credit - The Points Guy
You may want to rethink using your Amex airline fee credit to buy Delta and Southwest gift cards, thanks to program changes.

Thanks. I used Delta. Southwest has no value to me. It doesn't go where I do. I have never flown it ever. I know I am not far from BWI and PHL where I believe they exist, but I hardly ever fly domestic. Delta is crummy but at least I can buy gift cards which work(so far)You probably figured this out but TPG has a good posting on what triggers the credit.
