What about buying southwest gift cards or Alaska Airlines egift certificates? Does it need to be in certain increments?Keep to $50 to be safe.
MPX not working for me. Trying to buy amazon gift cards. I Keeping getting Purchase Failed msg telling me to contact customer service. Anyone know how to get around this? I already uninstalled and reinstalled app.They've been having problems with Amazon GCs lately.

thank you. Will need to read ms more often. In the wiki it says $100 or less..Chat to apply credit. (I won't say logical next step after that's done, but I'm sure you know.)
can anybody explain this from DDMS?Make united your airline of choice for your platinum.
"–United gift registry of $100 or less per transaction: if registered for United: Register for a gift registry and create a goal in order to contribute travel funds to your United account for future ticket purchases.
and for those wanting to write BUMP, I asked this once already.
Make united your airline of choice for your platinum.And how many gifts can be used per booking?
create a united gift registry. create a goal for the registry.
add funds to the registry in increments of less than $100. using your platinum card.
get reimbursed by AMEX.
And how many gifts can be used per booking?That's the beauty of a registry. All the money is combined in one gift account.

Do you get AA seat upgrade credit automatically? I use to get MPX credit 2-3 days after charge posted, it's now 6 days from when the seat upgrade charge posted and i haven't gotten the creditDid you choose AA as your airline?
YupsBefore , during pending or after the transaction posted ? - either way , if you have not gotten it , maybe chat to have the credit applied
Before , during pending or after the transaction posted ? - either way , if you have not gotten it , maybe chat to have the credit appliedI bought AA gift cards
I bought AA gift cardsAre their gift card stackable?
1st day registered AA and bought giftcard 1 for $100
2nd day verified the credit then bought another for $100
Anyone know how long does it take for Delta cancelled flights to be refunded. I'm at 1 week and still no refund has posted yet. I believe in years past it was much quicker than this.My friend just had that and he called delta, and they forgot to refund him...til he reminded them
Before , during pending or after the transaction posted ? - either way , if you have not gotten it , maybe chat to have the credit appliedChatted now, they say will get it in 14 days from charge posting, used to get next day, weird
My friend just had that and he called delta, and they forgot to refund him...til he reminded themI'll call in. Thanks.
would you go for united or american gift cards?Whats wrong with PGGM, why are people so quiet about it? is it the end of the road?
delta allow only 3 per reservation so less useful
american allows 8 per reservation so can end up being a nice amount.
united let you add it all to the registry but the registry will expire after 5 years without activity (yes its a long time and yes easy to add more to) and in theory if they ever got annoying would be harder to sell.
problem is with the BP at 2cpp i find it hard to justify using gift cards and therefore would likely end up selling them off
Whats wrong with PGGM, why are people so quiet about it? is it the end of the road?🤦♂️

Whats wrong with ****, why are people so quiet about it? is it the end of the road?See my signature.
For delta gc, does it work for both physical and e-gift cards?yes, i dont think so.
Is one better then the other (for resale value)?
Do you get AA seat upgrade credit automatically?

For what its worth, the $200 Delta.com GC did not trigger the credit but 4x50 GC's did - as the experts above advised.That's why they are the experts. :)

Does anyone know if you can spend the airline credit with one airline and then switch airlines and book points travel with the 50% rebate, before the first credit posts?Being that the credit only applies to a posted payment, you would most likely only receive the 50% return and not the credit, being that by the time the first transaction posts it's no longer the selected airline
Being that the credit only applies to a posted payment, you would most likely only receive the 50% return and not the credit, being that by the time the first transaction posts it's no longer the selected airlineWhere are you assuming that from? Did anyone get a credit for 2016 on a purchase that posted after 12/31?
Where are you assuming that from? Did anyone get a credit for 2016 on a purchase that posted after 12/31?Dan had said that the transaction needed to be made in 2016 but not necessarily post. Regardless I believe that is what happened to me. Either way the credit only applies after the purchase posts, I have never seen otherwise which led me to my assumption
Dan had said that the transaction needed to be made in 2016 but not necessarily post. Regardless I believe that is what happened to me. Either way the credit only applies after the purchase posts, I have never seen otherwise which led me to my assumptionWell if the transaction posts in 2017 but counts as a 2016 purchase that would mean that it posts based on when it was made, in which case it's entirely possible that if at the time of the charge it was eligible for a credit it wouldn't need to be that way when it posts.

I guess it has to be tried and confirmed
Dose PGGM need to be under $200 or will a 217 up-sale work?It'll work and then you'll get 200 back.

Are you sure that's not a refund by JetBlue that's on that screen shot?That is. OP said that he had the travel credit posted to his account, but now it disappeared. (The screenshot is after it disappeared)
It should say "Amex Airline Reimbursement Benefit".
Are you sure that's not a refund by JetBlue that's on that screen shot?It is a refund from JB. The screenshot was to show that the amex credit is NOT there anymore.
It should say "Amex Airline Reimbursement Benefit".

It'll work and then you'll get 200 back.
I don't remember this from previous years but does Comfort + work? I thought I remembered someone saying it's a different fare class so wouldn't workDidn't work for me but I believe others said it did.
I don't think a credit reversal would just disappear, you would see the credit and a separate transaction as a reversal.+1
Have not had a chance to read upthread.how much was the flight
A few days ago I purchased a flight on DL using my biz plat card which has DL as registered airline. now i suddenly see that i was given the airline credit for it. is this usual?
Bought 3 Delta gc's 1x $100 and 2x $50. Got 2 $50 credit, but nothing for $100 yet. Worth calling about it?only works automatically on 50 dollar charges, you can try chatting
how much was the flightFlight was $215. Used $50 gc and paid the rest with my cc. Now the entire cc charge had been refunded. Not complaining, just data point...
only works automatically on 50 dollar charges, you can try chattingsm, or do I have to call?
sm, or do I have to call?amex doesnt have sm, u can chat online or call
Need advice:yes and yes
can we change to SW (travel on SW more) and buy SW gift card to get $100 airline fee credit? If yes, do we buy the GC directly from SW site?
Thanks.
It sounds like MPX purchases of GCs don't work. Is the gift registry thing works, as far as you know?yup
Curious if anyone has done registry for $200 at once and it didn't work. Pretty sure it's urban legend$200 worked for me.
I just did the gift registry for $100 on 2 different PRG cards. The charge was made on 1/20 and has now posted. I'm waiting for the credit now. I assume it's just a few days like with most Amex credits. I have until mid-February to close the cards as my annual fee hit my January statement in the middle of the month.What about the 100k MR and 50% rebate? Those are worth a lot more than a few hundred dollars.
It's really too bad the MPX option closed up. Amazon gift cards are as good as cash for me. None of the other options are particularly compelling for me. I did the United gift registry since I guess I might fly on United at some point but really who knows. If the MPX was still open I'd get the Business Platinum that Dan has been talking a lot about. But without MPX, I don't really have a very good use for the $200 + $200 credit so it's not worth anywhere near $400 for me.
What about the 100k MR and 50% rebate? Those are worth a lot more than a few hundred dollars.The 50% rebate isn't all that great because I have no clue what airline I'm going to fly. Having to pre-pick the airline really hurts the value.
is there any place to see about how much GC is worth if I want to sell it?Which gc?
Which gc?I could still change my selected airline so I want to know which GC to buy.

It can drop off sometimes. Just confirm with the RepIt's suppose to stay if not changed. (#BetterSafeThenSorry!)
It's suppose to stay if not changed. (#BetterSafeThenSorry!)Correct. And its also supposed to post when buying GC. So I was suggesting OP confirm that its still his preferred airline
Just hung up with rep., and the charge DOES qualify!! They're expediting the credit!!Great, glad to hear..
Thanks for making me aware...
DP: received $100 Amex airline credit on PRG for Delta flight that cost $108.20 anyone know if this is common?Similar scenario reported upthread
If I buy a delta gift card with a BGR will it work for the $100 airline credit?BGR doesn't have airline credit.
Similar scenario reported upthreadonly personal gold has $100 trave credit
only personal gold has $100 trave creditYes that's PRG. What relevance does that have to OP
Yes that's PRG. What relevance does that have to OPSeems like he mistakenly answered to the wrong quote, as someone asked if it will work with a BGR card and replied only the PGR has that offer.
Is this the same info for the prg or there's a difference between the credit on the plat and the prg?same thing
same thingThanks. When buying Delta gc should I do $50 increments or $100 is fine?

But you can only cancel within 24 hours, can take a at least a day or 2 for charge to post
Charge doesn't just fall off when cancelling?no. When you cancel within 24 hour, it still posts and refunds. and then gets the credit.
any chance a lap child international fare of ~$180 will work?Can't hurt to try, there have been reports of $100 flights triggering it...
Can't hurt to try, there have been reports of $100 flights triggering it...I guess I can refund it if it doesn't...any way to pay with MR points? Any way to use $50 delta GC's (more than 2)? I'll PUTPAC and find out I guess.
PGGM still works with slight variances.. Need the upgrades to be on partner airlines, by me was Air France preferred. Posted as Delta charge triggered amex creditSo I buy a refundable on Delta operated by Air France?
So I buy a refundable on Delta operated by Air France?Same question. Are you booking through Delta.com?
Ya through delta.com. When i upgraded the upgrades were not delta comfort + but on the actual carrier and were klm preferred and air france preferred. One point tho, those charges didnt get credit automatically by delta, I called delts to reverse the charge because i cancelled the ticket:)

I created a gift registery with united but I don't see where you can add travel funds?You can either search for your registry (just make sure you get the right one, as you are searching all UA registries) or you can email yourself as part of the announcement about your registry and follow the link in the email.

not sure yet what I'm gonna do with it. Do they expire? is it transferable (like a gift card)?expires after 5 years, its not transferable meaning it would have to be booked through your account.

B6 sells gift cards?i guess not
whats B6 ?
no. When you cancel within 24 hour, it still posts and refunds. and then gets the credit.When I would book an award ticket for ex. With UA or even Delta?(if true what your saying I can even use priceline to book and upgrade on aa.com or the Airline I booked with?
Did I ever tell you guys that I bought two $100 gift certificates on AA at the very end of 2016 then a week later at the beginning of 2017 I used them to pay for flights and the balance after the certificates was like $38 and Amex gave me travel credit for both apparently thinking that the $38 was for incidentals?Yes 😀
When did MPX stop working?Try for your self, doesn't seem to work anymore shows processing and then says error, the only thing I didn't try is to delete and re put my payment method or try another card.

Is it a separate charge, or just a higher fare?i know you can add it on when buying the ticket i guess ill see if i can buy it later. thanks
If the first, probably works, if the 2nd, almost definitely not.
I've been trying to create a United gift registry for the past few days but it keeps saying that "the gift registry page is unavailable for maintenance". Is anyone else seeing this?

does it have to be separate purchases for each $50 delta gc or can i buy more than one quantity at a time?It has nothing to do with the quantity or the amount of the gift card(s), it's the total transaction.
Any way to use the credit for Uber?works for ubereats too!
works for ubereats too!we're discussing the $200 incidental fee refund
we're discussing the $200 incidental fee refund
So can I buy a single Delta gc in the amount of $200?it might not trigger.
I'm asking because their t&c says:
If redeemed at www.delta.com,a maximum of three eGifts or Cards can be applied towards a single transaction, regardless of the number of tickets purchased as part of that transaction; if redeemed through any other method, a maximum of three eGifts or Cards can be applied toward a single ticket. eGifts and Cards can be used with other eGifts and/or Cards, but cannot be used in conjunction with any other certificate, voucher or credit towards a single ticket.
So can I buy a single Delta gc in the amount of $200?we would love to hear a data point that it works (maybe you could try it and let us know)

It has nothing to do with the quantity or the amount of the gift card(s), it's the total transaction.So 4 separate orders, each with $50 delta EGC, should work, right?
So 4 separate orders, each with $50 delta EGC, should work, right?Yes for Delta, I got credit last month for $50 GCs done separately within a day or 2 of each other. On AA GC I did $100 and it works fine.
Does Delta make redeeming gc's for travel difficult? Will they allow me to redeem several gc's on a single itinerary?MAX of 3 forms of payment, this is the negative with Delta gift cards compared to AA where you can use up to 8. See below for limits from their site.
Can I pay taxes/fees on an award ticket with a Delta GC?

I didnt use my airline credit yet,
will be flying on Singapore airlines next week and wanted to take a extra suitcase.
after a small conversation with Amex rep they gave me 75$ Credit + told me to call again after i buy the extra luggage to get reimbrused from Amex
$75 for free, Stam?I asked if I will get reimbursed for 150$ extra suitcase fee so he told me that basically if I would call HIM after it was charged on my plat he would reimburse me but he can't promise me a other will so as a guester of good will he just gave me a half of the amount and asked me to call again after to try getting back the fee.

Ya through delta.com. When i upgraded the upgrades were not delta comfort + but on the actual carrier and were klm preferred and air france preferred. One point tho, those charges didnt get credit automatically by delta, I called delts to reverse the charge because i cancelled the ticket
how to get the charge to post as delta when upgrading on air france? You need to goto air france site to upgrade and then charge shows up as air france.what should be the designated air line delta or af ?

Convinced its something that'll cause a clawback

Which one?That if you return something it won't get clawed back.

I bought a $200 AA GC, should I buy now 2 $100 AA GC to trigger the credit or AA $200 triggers it? (didn't see the wiki, till after purchase)$200 used to trigger it,last time I did $200 was a year ago, I started doing $100 AA GC only after reading what some people reported that the $200 AA GC purchase did not trigger the credit.
I switched mine a few times via chat, even after receiving the credit and using the 50% rebate from the first airline.

2. closing date of the December statement?
3. purchase date?
4. posting date?
12/31 purchase date.Thank. You. Just wanted to be sure since a (dumb?) rep told me that a previous charge that posted the beginning of January did not count even though it was a December purchase date. For another transaction, he said that the airline only put the charge through a couple days later in January and then it posted after that. He wouldn't give me last year's credit for either.

they may not post until 2018.That's not a problem

Was about to buy when I noticed that Flyertalk thread says to wait 36-48 hours from when you activate the card and designate your airline until you actually purchase the GC. I just chose my airline last night (Thursday) and normally I’d be happy to wait, but I’m worried that if I don’t buy GCs until after Shabbos, they may not post until 2018.No issues here on two accounts. Bought right after I got the confirmation email about the change.
Any recommendations? If I buy GCs tomorrow today (< 24 hours) will I get reimbursed, or safer to wait until Motzei Shabbos and take the risk of them not posting until January?
That's not a problem-1
Thanks for the quick replies and DPs. Many people on FT also bought GCs right away and got it to post, but some had issues and hadn't received their credits after 2+ weeks. Is there anything to lose by waiting until Motzei Shabbos to be safe? My fear was that if I buy the GCs then, they won't post until January 2018, especially with the holiday. Is it 100% that as long as the purchase is made in 2017 that they'll be credited for this year, not for 2018?It has to post in 2017 to get credit for 2017.

That's what I thought. Still not changed after logging back in. Will chat again tomorrow if not changed.Did you get the "We have received your airline change request" email from amex?
Does he mean posting in 2017 with a posting date of 2016?Correct, the posting date of the charge has to be in the year you want credit for, to be safe you want at least a few days before the end of the year to be sure it'll post correctly. There's nothing to lose by trying now as worse comes to worse you'll just get the credit for 2018.
Did you get the "We have received your airline change request" email from amex?No. That's not a good sign.

Canceled DL EC+ upgrades for international flight purchased on 1/1 are still pending... not looking good. Last year in January domestic flights stopped working but international still worked. Looks like this might be dead too, as people on other forums are posting their DL gift card purchases from 1/1 have credited already.
Has there been any reports that comfort plus seats have become nonrefundable recently? There's a message in red after you click cancel saying that seat upgrades are non refundable.

How long did u wait b4 u called in?i dont remember if 14 days or 21
Upthread it was on closed acct cmiiw?cmiiw??
cmiiw??Correct me if I'm wrong, there is a great for acronyms
If I got the credit this year and then downgraded to gold, and then I upgraded back to platinum, can I get the credit again?Not the same year, you can get one if each per year.
Is there a deadline till when I can change the airline from last year?IINM it passed, but you cab try to chat for a change
Is there a deadline till when I can change the airline from last year?Most data points seem to show, if the credit wasn't spent (and possibly if it was) its fairly easy to change airline, by chat. I'd assume the same applies from year to year.
Does AA GG's still work? how soon can they be used after the purchase? only asking because an earlier post suggested to wait 72 hours before using.Yes, they still work. The cards are only able to be used 72 hrs after you buy them, you don't get the number and pin before then.
TIA
Does AA GG's still work? how soon can they be used after the purchase? only asking because an earlier post suggested to wait 72 hours before using.It works, there is a couple of DP out there that it was a bit complicated to get the credit or the gift card.
TIA
What is the normal wait time to get the delta gift card credit? Does it come the same day that the charge posts, or a few days later? Approx how many days? ThanksA few days later.
A few days later.Thanks

Posted next day.next day of posted charge or next day of pending charge?
Do lounge passes count for the travel credit?yes
SW $100 GC's still working for credit?Worked for me not long ago.
Any way to check if you have the credit available without asking Amex?check online in your account by the benefits
Yes, they still work. The cards are only able to be used 72 hrs after you buy them, you don't get the number and pin before then.
@ mmgfarb . Just read wiki . if still correct disregard my rant below Can just pay AA $172 with Amex ?
I don't understand why anybody would bother with all these gift cards, United gift registry, etc , if you can just book a flight with a pet, (I do it with united) then cancel the ticket (within 24 h) and you'll still get reimbursed for the "cost" of the pet by amex.
Never heard of this one. Did you try this recently? Where do you add a pet at checkout?The last time I did it was a few weeks ago. when you go on united.com click on "all search options", then by "travelers" look carefully you'll see an expandable option "pets in cabin"
Never heard of this one. Did you try this recently? Where do you add a pet at checkout?this is an old method but people had a lot of claw backs by doing it.
this is an old method but people had a lot of claw backs by doing it.so far I did it 6 times, no issues
so far I did it 6 times, no issuesi had clawbacks when i did this or PGGM
i had clawbacks when i did this or PGGMI hear, interesting. did you book with united?
Well I had ordered a $100 AA plastic GC 7/27 that was pending for 5 days at AMEX. Amex says AA let it drop off , it never posted and so now I am back to square one.
Is buying 2 x $100 EGCs safer than paying the $172 for an AA award tix on Amex Plat Personal Card. Tix is on hold , and have to buy by August 7th
Read the whole thread, and haven’t seen any reports of AA Award tix fees , triggering airline credit, but lots of DPs on GCs.
I hear, interesting. did you book with united?yes
yes
Any recent DPs buying the $100 AA GCs? Still works?still works
FYI . Maybe off topic but gift cards can not be used to pay Taxes etc. on American Awards in case anyone interested.this has been discussed several times here on DDF
I found out the hard way.

I’m sorry for your loss.
Did 14 AA GC a few weeks ago.IME they did not.

Any ideas how to use up the travel credit on JetBlue? I am Mosaic, so I get two bags free and use a few hundred points to get Extra Legroom Sets. I have the full $200 credit to use, with now idea how to use up.book a ticket and pay upgrade then when you call to cancel ask them top put it in your travel bank that way you wont need to worry about any claw backs
(I have JetBlue as my designated airline to get the 35% Bonus.)
IME they did not.
+1+2 Last year bought 12 same day, no cancellation, this year bought 6 and all were cancelled and refunded with no claw back. Not sure on what basis they cancel.
DP: purchased United Economy plus seating, but selected the airline after the purchase, while it was still pending, and got my credit.Thanks.
Cancelled AA gift cards that are refunded , Amex does not remove the credit, it has been weeks and the credit was not clawed back, if I can only figure out how to make them cancel an order?call them?

$200 total.Meaning all the uses can equally spend to max out the Airline credit fee of $200?
Meaning all the uses can equally spend to max out the Airline credit fee of $200?Correct. The total you can receive is $200 across any number of AUs
I am linked to jetblue and don't plan on flying them before the year is up, any way to use my credit?chat to change
chat to changealready used some credit...
already used some credit...Not a problem.
Not a problem.Cool. Thank you!
Cool. Thank you!It may not work every time, but I can confirm it definitely did for me. Worst they'll say is no. I used $25.
Just tried and was told I couldn't.try calling
How much did you already use? How did you ask? I chatted with them, and just told them I wanted to choose my airline. Didn't mention the fact that I already did.that's exactly how I asked. He came back and said he couldn't being that I used over $100 of the credit already.

Any recent DPs if adding money to a United gift registry works?are you able to add $ to united gift?
I haven't had an Amex in several years, and just now I'm looking for a way to utilize the airline credit. is the Silence on פגג"מ due to a taboo :-X, or due to it not working anymore :'( >:(?a little bit of both
I haven't had an Amex in several years, and just now I'm looking for a way to utilize the airline credit. is the Silence on פגג"מ due to a taboo :-X, or due to it not working anymore :'( >:(?Mostly the former
Did Amex eventually retract the credit?Happened to me, but only with 2 of the eGCs i bought. Been a few weeks, AMEX didnt retract it
For what its worth, the $200 Delta.com GC did not trigger the credit but 4x50 GC's did - as the experts above advised.
I was wondering that too. But I think if it’s within 1 day, it should be fine
Can i do 4x50 GC's in one transaction or it has to be 4 different transactions?Separate.
Separate.
Shoots. I did it in one transaction.I also did 4x $50 DL GC's in 1 transaction in June, and got the credit.
Shoots. I did it in one transaction.Hope it will work out, as @farmbochur posted it did work for him.

Does it still work to do 2x 100 AA egift cards?Anyone?
How many GC does Delta allow per itinerary online?
Can I book a fight with 6 x $50 GCs?
at last check it was 3 per ticket, however on domestic RT u can just book as 2 one ways (usually same price as rt) and usie 3 certs per direction thereby cashing in all 6 for one trip+1 That is how I have used 6 cards on many occasions on domestic flights .
Is this really true regarding the $200 airline credit per card?I wish :)
$19,800 in airline credit ?
Each additional card is eligible for one statement credit every four years toward the Global Entry/TSA PreCheck application fee. Incidental air travel fees charged by both Platinum and Gold card members are eligible for statement credits (up to $200 annually). These cards also can receive Amex Offers.

after reading in multiple places online that $50 increments of DELTA GC will trigger the credit i had my airline of choice set at delta and made the purchase. one was for $50 in one purchase and then three more $50 in the same purchase. all were coded on AMEX as GC and they after calling them they said its GC and we don't refund for that. i filed a return protection claim and lets see if they refund me. ???world like to hear an update. Thanks.
BUT does anyone know how i can utilize GC for this refund with any airline>???https://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/amex-airline-fee-reimbursements-still-works/

Taxes/fees on an AA award ticket do not count?Nope, according to multiple reports on the FT thread about this. But if you can wait 72 hours, I guess you can buy AA gift cards for whatever amount you need for taxes/fees and then use the GC to pay the taxes/fees, no?
But if you can wait 72 hours,To late. :-[

AFAIK-- you can "not" use GC to pay tax on AA-- if anyone has been successful please postI stand corrected. For some reason I had thought it was possible, but I just checked and you're right.
EcardThank you. Did the charge show as gift card?

Bought one $50 Delta GC on desktop site with Amex Business Platinum on the 13th - still no credit.I just did it a few days ago - I got the credit - i think it took 4 days
I just did it a few days ago - I got the credit - i think it took 4 daysMax 50 per transaction... Right?
I just did it a few days ago - I got the credit - i think it took 4 days
I hope I will get it. See pic below - it shows as a ticket - actually has GC number.Was the same by mine
I just did it a few days ago - I got the credit - i think it took 4 days
Yup, got the credit b"H
DP: purchased United Economy plus seating, but selected the airline after the purchase, while it was still pending, and got my credit.
Does United refund economy plus seats when canceled within 24 hours?They do. Also, Amex claws back bonuses/credits from those who try to beat the system.
"Shoots. I did it in one transaction"
Did it work?
Any way to combine numerous Delta GC into one large one or move them into a travel bank to use them all on one reservation?No, but i think it is possible to use for 1 ticket by calling delta.
I now have 7 x $50 and would like to combine them for one purchase.
No, but i think it is possible to use for 1 ticket by calling delta.+1
Bought one $50 Delta GC on desktop site with Amex Business Platinum on the 13th - still no credit.
Any recent DPs on buying SW giftcards?No issues.
No issues.
Scattered reports of AA GC's posting as gift cards. :'(I just bought one last week and it was ok, unless something changed since .
I just bought one last week and it was ok, unless something changed since .I bought last week too, this week is supposedly an issue.
still waiting for reimbursement from 1/31 for aa gc on platinum and hilton aspire card- anyone else waiting?
Yup, something wrong with that day, you'll probably just have to contact them after 4 weeks to manually credit.+1 From FT looks like a problem with that day in particular.

Anyone knows if the AA posting as GC is from mobile/tablets only ? Some datapoints that it still works from a desktop , tiasource for those DP?
Anyone else notice that Delta now allows up to 9 gift cards per transaction?Not for me.

if you call in, there is no limitthanks
DP, SW GC working fine.Delta $50 works fine, so the options are Delta $50 and SW$100.
i purchase southwest gift cards and got charged and for some reason sw cancelled the gift card and refunded me. will that still trigger the travel credit? it now says that its been used but didnt get credit yeti did get it. will they claw back?
i did get it. will they claw back?At this point all bets are off with Amex. Could be 6 months from now, similar to when they clawed back the Saks credit.
i did get it. will they claw back?No, happened to me this year and last year with 1 AA GC, I bought several and they cancelled the last transaction, got credit from Amex.

At this point all bets are off with Amex. Could be 6 months from now, similar to when they clawed back the Saks credit.when returning just get a gift card instead of credit to original payment
Does AA Gift cards still work for Plat?
I applied and got the biz plat on the last day of the $450 AF.Delta $50
Was relying on getting the $200 travel credit. Still haven't tried anything.
At this point what does work for triggering the credit?
Pls post (or PM)
TIA
Delta $50And Southwest $100.
Do mileage ticket taxes and booking fees work for the amex travel credit?YMMV
Do mileage ticket taxes and booking fees work for the amex travel credit?Last year I booked 2 mileage tickets on united and I had to pay the $75 close in fee. The taxes automatically got the travel credit and the fee did not. I called and argued that the $75 is a fee and should be credited. After a back and forth and escalation they credited it.

This year I chose frontier as I was planning on flying with them a couple of times. I booked a ticket a couple of weeks ago for $29 and the whole thing was credited back for the travel credit.I had the same with B6, its just not 100% that it'll work
Why does Delta have to be purchased in $50's, it appears that it all comes form the same website, so why can't I purchase larger amount?officially it excludes all gift cards on all airlines. DP's suggest that only when done in $50 increment does it trigger the credit. possibly because it's a lower amount so it thinks it's an incidental travel fee. I don't know how they have things categorized
