However, I usually put something up which gets claimed and then, down the line, when I claim something, I put something else up. May be a few months or longer between the time I offer something and then claim something. It's good to have a "put" in reserve.
Don't over-think it, abide by the intent of doing something good for someone and you'll be fine.
