Does anyone know if the $200 Amex Platinum fee reimbursement will cover the transfer fees?

Do you know people who had it credited. If so, was it automatic or they had to ask a rep? Does it come through as a Delta.com charge or smething else (ie points.com)?

Personally, no. But there is a large thread on this over at FT.

Pretty sure it comes as a DL charge but the specific type of charge is not "misc fees" or whatever so it may or may not get auto-credited (or at all).

T and Cs state that no recipient may receive more than 300,000 miles does that include the mile earned with the bonus? Can 2 sep accounts give 150k to the same account for a total of 600k?

I think you can do 2 150K transfers for 600K with the bonus.

You can't. I tried and didn't work for me.

Good to know.
