Called in. Number you should use is 1-800-847-0578 with option #1. Type in 13 digit ticket number and the automated system will look up your refund status. I'm at 6 business days so I guess I need to wait until tomorrow to tell them to process the refund.
Post by: 12HRS on December 23, 2016, 01:29:46 PM
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

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

Here is a screenshot. I had the credit before posted Jan 2 and it just disappeared after chatting with them to downgrade my card.Are you sure that's not a refund by JetBlue that's on that screen shot?
It should say "Amex Airline Reimbursement Benefit".

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)

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.

I don't think a credit reversal would just disappear, you would see the credit and a separate transaction as a reversal.+1
When they claw back an offer that's how its done.

I have only one Amex PRG (wife's name): previously selected United and did MPX last year for travel credit. I understand that MPX is done now, and we are not traveling on United much, so don't want to do United GC (or gift registry). Since it is a new year and we can change the airline, 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? After buying, can we just add to our account and keep using it to pay the taxes/fees (flights are mainly booked using SW points).
Thanks.

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.
Post by: mmgfarb on January 23, 2017, 10:18:24 AM
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.

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.
Obviously, the 100k MR is nice. However, I have a lot of points now. Not a lot by the standards here but a lot for me. Between Chase and Amex I'll have about 1 million points, between my wife and I. I don't have that many places to use them right now. I think we're going to have a family trip to Israel in 2.5 years and we might have a trip next January to Hawaii. But that's really all I have planned for the next few years. I also have 50k+ United, AA, Jetblue and Delta miles. There starts to get diminishing returns on points as you compile them without using too much. At this point I'd rather not pay for points. I'll still try and get them but I'm sticking to either fee free cards (first year waived fee) or near free cards like the CSR.

Now I used those credits to buy two tickets that were $127 each. Amex automatically credited me 2x$27 for 2017. Interesting. I'm thinking it was the small dollar amount that made the Amex system assume it was an incidental charge and not part of basic fare.

As long as it is below ~$200.a) Will 2 tickets for $150 in 1 reservation work?
b) Can it be bought through Priceline,or it has to go through United?

a) Will 2 tickets for $150 in 1 reservation work?Needs to be purchased directly from the airline.
b) Can it be bought through Priceline,or it has to go through United?
What matters is the amount, not the number of tickets.

@ckmk47 - I was asking what you see on Amex charge online? I have yet to get a reimbursement, so my fear is that the charge is coming over wrong. I used united registry - nothing special. The same way that I have always done in the past.

How long does it usually take to get the $200 credit? I purchased SW GCs ($50 denominations) a little more than a week ago and have not yet received the credit (SW is my “choice” airline).usually takes 2 days.
You could call in to do it manually. But there’s a certain amount of days that you have to wait till they can do it manually. IIRC 14 days.

Purchased EC+ on the EWR-TLV leg with one CC (same name as traveler) for $209.
Purchased EC+ on the TLV-EWR leg with different CC (his mother's name) for $199.
Both credited about 3-4 days after the charge.

Post by: zow on December 07, 2017, 01:10:05 PM
Why wouldnt they?Just providing a data point, mostly in regard to the timing of posting. The T+C indicate it shouldn't work:
"Good to Know
This benefit doesn't offer credit toward airline tickets, mileage points purchases or mileage points transfer fees, gift cards, upgrades, duty–free purchases, or award tickets."
2 separate accounts? What's the chidush?
$209 was credited?
Just pointing out that the purchase could be for any traveler; doesn't need to be for the cardmember. Not a big deal. Only $200 was credited, as expected.

Same time for either, no difference.
I never tried doing 2 x $50 Delta in one transaction, always did $50 each. With AA the $200 used to work but not anymore, have been doing $100 per transaction.

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.

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.

Flyertalk thread says to wait 36-48 hours from when you activate the card and designate your airline until you actually purchase the GC.Wasn't an issue for me.
Registered for AA on 12/25. Bought gc's minutes later. Credit posted on 12/27.
Did that on 2 BP's.
Post by: yelped on December 29, 2017, 11:05:19 AM
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.

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.

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.

I had a garbage agent this morning who kept insisting one of my cards was set to AA, when I knew it was UA. Then he claimed he overrode it and now it's AA. Was still showing as UA. I called and they took care of it.
For another account the chat agent took care of it. If they don't send you the disclaimers via chat and you don't get the email immediately it wasn't taken care of.

Same here confirm each card was changed. Had an agent that claimed, changing on one card will change all!

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.
Post by: DaveInLA on January 04, 2018, 10:02:28 PM
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. I purchased the ticket and seats separately and the ticket is fully refundable fare. That message wasn't there before. Also there's similar language in the comfort plus faq not seen before.
I was wondering that too. But I think if it’s within 1 day, it should be fine

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 ?
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 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?

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

For what its worth, the $200 Delta.com GC did not trigger the credit but 4x50 GC's did - as the experts above advised.
Can i do 4x50 GC's in one transaction or it has to be 4 different transactions?
Post by: OscarAsher on November 30, 2018, 12:42:06 AM
I was wondering that too. But I think if it’s within 1 day, it should be fine
You are right.
I purchased delta comfort to trigger airline credit, then when i called to cancel my flight the agent said seats aren't refundable When i asked since when is this policy in place he wouldn't answer me. Bur turns out, besides for being arrogant and weird, he was thankfully clueless, bc a day later i was credit for the ticket as well as the extra charge for the comfort seat.

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

Post by: beirush228 on August 13, 2019, 11:20:39 AM
If JB flights under $100 are being reimbursed, (correct me if they are not please) can I some how get a refunded flight within 24 hours to go to travel credit and not back to the credit card? Is that a current workaround for using the airline credit and yet getting the equivalent of a gift card?Update: I booked one of the 53.90 on sale fares from 2 random airports. I missed the 24 hour cut off time due to Batlonus and different time zones... But, I called and asked that they refund me.. First she said no because it was passed 24 hours, when I asked at least for Jetblue Bank. She said that as a courtesy she would provide me that. Three days later my 53.90 flight was reimbursed as Airline Credit. - Platinum Business Card.
Moral: This may be a sort of work around. But I didn't try out how to cancel within 24 hours and put into my Jetblue Bank.
Would love to hear from someone else of their experience.

Had used $29 for a delta lounge acces since I wasn't planning on using delta again until next year and I have a aa flight coming up I did know I dont stand a chance in getting the airline switched once I used part of it.
I did try now and the csr did tell me that if I used $1 it wont switch however for some odd reason she checked and said I didn't use yet any of the credit and was able to switch the airline selection!
Just double checked my remaining amount is still $171.

Sure. That is for what its made for.Are you sure? For some reason I don't think it codes correctly with DL, Because it has to code as incidental charges, not specifically for upgrades. Only the Ritz is specifically for Upgrades CMIIW.

Was upgrades always clearly excluded in the T&C?
IIRC it used to officially work, and when a credit didn't post automatically I had no problem telling a CSR that it was a upgrade and i got the credit manually.

Is jet blue the only airline that small charges work? Or would that work for frontier as well? Is there any other ideas or data points?

Did similar transaction with WN. Booked OW fare for less than $100. Transaction posted. A couple days later Amex credit posted. Cancelled fare with funds going to WN's travelbank. Did it twice and worked perfectly. Only wrinkle I believe is that funds in WN travelbank can only be used by the original ticketed passenger.

If I apply and approved for Amex plat today, would there be enough time to charge swa $99 fares? Is there an instant number offered and does swa post in two days usually?1) if your approved instantly,
2) 50% chance you will get a instant number (or have your card overnight-ed)
as long you charge the card before Jan 1st your still going to get the credit.
now regarding the actual charge if it will be reimbursed is YMMV.

Instant number, picked airline via chat, charged swa less than 100x2.
I read that charging on dec 31 may not post in time, and could mean using next year credit.

Completely my fault but I forgot about the credit until 12/31/19 :o I made a charge but it didn't post until 1/1/20 and now my 2020 credit was used up. Tried chatting with Amex but they said they can't do anything since it's all automatic. Anyone have luck with this situation before?The system goes by posting date (not transaction date). You might be able to get a manual goodwill adjustment based on your history with Amex, but IMHO not worth the risk to get eyes on your account when it's not even certain that your account qualifies for a goodwill credit.

Thanks. Does anyone know if there are any dps in regards to claw-backs for downgrading (not canceling) a card after utilizing the travel credit for that year (after the first year)?I don't think so, and it would not make sense for them to do so. Because when you downgrade your annual fee will be prorated for the amount of days you had your platinum, so you technically paid for the right to use the credit during that period.
That being said, this is AMEX, so anything is possible.

It was a very cheap ticket (less than $20). Just did it for fun to try it out. Waited 2 days till Amex credited the money back as an airline fee, then I hit the cancel button on my United reservation. Within minutes the voucher was in my United accountI bought last week another United ticket ~$85, and this time it was not credited back from Amex as a airline expense. Don't know why 3 weeks ago it worked for a $20 ticket, and this time for a $85 ticket did not work....

Will a JetBlue $65 ticket work? Also, if buying 4 tickets on one PNR, for a total of just over $250, will it still work considering total price is over $100?Yes. Yes.

Amex reps are claiming they're unable to change the selected airline midyear b/c I've already partially used the credit. I've never before experienced resistance with that request.I always get resistance, even before using the credit. Did you try chatting online? Keep on pushing.

I bought a $1000 ticket on united through amex travel and used points to pay for it so I would get back 35% of the points. The next day I canceled my ticket through amex travel. Amex had already deducted 100k points for the ticket, and when I canceled, they refunded the $1000 back to the card (they always first charge the ticket in money, and then credit back the money when they deduct the points the next day). So instead of refunding me the 100k points that I paid, they refunded $1000. A few weeks later they credited back 35k points (the 35% rebate for using points to buy a ticket on united.) So at the end of the day, I was credited $1000 to my amex accnt for 65k points. I wouldn't suggest doing it often. I did it because I needed to cancel the ticket, but it is an option how to cash out mr points at 1.5 cents.good luck, they claw these back .

Anyway to get the credit on delta? (any report of under $99 ticket working or other ways?)pay part of the flight with a GC (any portion in my experience) and pay the rest on your card, and it should trigger the credit

Delta pay partial with a GC and rest on the CC and it should trigger the credit then you can get travel credit for the ticket to be used in the next 24 months. Try and change the American one to united (will be easier if you never used any credit with united) and buy travelbank credits on UA. NOTE: If the transaction doesn't post before end of the date dec 31 even if you charged it before it will count toward the 2021 year.

Thank you for this post.
There's one comment that you saw who said they got reimbursed for $15 partial payment if UA ticket with remaining payment having been TB. I'm assuming you're waiting for more data points confirming this works? Or for larger amounts than $15?
