If I have AA as my selected airline, and I book a BA Economy/Premium Economy flight that is codeshared with AA (and booked as AA), will I get the 35% rebate if booked with points. I realize that this should work, but wondering if anyone has experience with this working or not working.

The Business Platinum gets double point earnings and 1.5 category earnings. Does the green card earn points at the same rate? Over 5,000$ charged by an employee will it get 2 points if charged on a green card?

Yes the employee green cards earn points at the same rate as the primary platinum card but as far as I know charges of 5K plus earn 1.5 not 2 points

I did not do 75K spend but minutes after cancelling one Platinum card I got this on another

Now I get this email, even though I did spend more than $75k in 2022.

Does anyone know of any way to reach Amex Plat Travel? The real TAs and not the Expedia dodos? Do they still exist or are they totally out by now?

They still exist. Have to ask to be transferred. You don't get a personal phone number or email address anymore.

The policy is "within 30 days of the date of the statement on which the annual fee appears"

Are you counting from the actual date that the fee posted or from the statement closure date?
