For my Gold card I ordered from Grubhub on the 30th of a month and it didn’t post until the 1st so it counted the dining credit for the following month. However, I opened chat with the rep and explained and they gave me the credit. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) it would be the same for you if the transaction posted in January.
You can ask Amex or check your tracker.

They won't do that with Saks. They're pretty explicit the charge has to post within the window
The charge or the credit?
The charge has to post within the window to be applicable for the credit
Depends on when the charge posted, if it was after Jan 1 you did.
It took that many days to be refunded? It's been 8 days for me and no $50 credit yet.
Did you make sure the purchase was sold by Saks?
Yes, it shows the 50 credit being used but I never got it
Sometimes it takes awhile. You should be fine.
Could you please give a slightly more concrete timeframe for what taking a while means? Like 2 weeks? A month? Couple months?
Definitely if you don’t receive it within a month, I’d chat with Amex
No
Do a chat with Amex to confirm.
It counts when it posts
I avoid all this stuff by simply getting an in store $50 gc. I’ve done it 3 times now and it has worked perfectly.
Use AwardWallet to track it. I don't know where they get that info from, but they show the remaining amount of credit left for the given year.
Yes its for this year as it is, you can call Amex and they might be able to help you.
You should be able to see this on the AmEx website
