Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not understanding the part about refunding to Travelbank.  Isn't a United Travelbank purchase no longer working for the $200 Platinum airline credit?
Amex won't refund you the $200 if you purchase Travel bank funds. But if you have funds in your travelbank, they are still valid. People loaded their travelbank before Amex cut the refunds...

Ok, thanks.  I got stuck with a $50 TB purchase that wasn't reimbursed. Trying to figure out if there's any way to use the credit before I cancel the card.

I don't want to throw good money after bad.  I already got burned for $50.  Do we know for sure if I buy a ticket with TB funds & the Platinum card it will get reimbursed?

Unfortunately, JetBlue is of no use to me.

So should we call Amex and have them give credit for purchase of 1/18?

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

I tried today on my Gold. $100. Will report back.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

I bought bank credit for $50 and $100 a few days ago, both credited quickly.

Just like the good old days, special service ticket.

Another charge has since posted and credited.  I would not hesitate...
