Has anyone had any issues with the check mailed to them with their cashback rewards? I do not see any option for a statement credit and I don't have a Chase account.
How long does the check take? Any info is appreciated. Thank you.

On the ultimate rewards page, there should be an option to pay yourself back. You put in an amount of a recent transaction and the date it was made (given you have enough points to cover it and rhe purchase is within the past 60 days) and your account will be credited. It's weird that one can't do just any amount in increments of 1000 points and that it has to be connected to a specific purchase, but that was my experience. The good news is that my account was promptly credited in less than a day. Hope that helps and maybe others know of a different method.
And sorry, editing because I realized I didn't really answer your question. I haven't used the check option only the one mentioned above.

I can't believe I missed that, thank you! So does one "lose" money because it must be in even increments yet most charges are not? I wish they would just deposit it into your bank account. Does the money expire or will it go through the end of the year? I have about $270 right now but would like to earn a little more.
Thank you CreditAddict for your info too!
Nope, you don't lose any money. Because it's connected to a specific purchase, it's an exact deduction of points. For example, I asked to be credited back for a $96.92 purchase, so 9,692 points were deducted. If you choose the check option, however, it must be in 1000 point increments. I still think it's strange that I can't just ask to be credited a $100 (or 150 or whatever), but the purchase credit works, so I guess it'll do!
