points can be used for the AF.

Statement credits: If you have the exact number of points or more required to wipe away a charge, you can wipe away the entire charge.  If you have fewer than the exact number of points, you can only redeem in 2500 point/$25 increments.

Example: If you have an $87 charge, and 9000 points, you can wipe away the entire $87 charge.  If, however, you only have 8000 points, you can only wipe away $75 worth of the $87 charge (2500 point/$25 increments x 3).

Can you explain a bit?  I think I get it but want to make sure: buy a refundable ticket with my card and then pay off with points on the next statement, then once I get the ticket refunded, downgrade the card and get the credit (of the amount of the refunded ticket) sent to me by check?  (Or do I have to then spend the amount credited with that same card?)

Nothing to do with downgrading the card. More with the concept of cancelling a refundable ticket. That way they will credit you $$ to your account for which you used points.

There is no need to wait to get the ticket refunded I just did it last week and canceled right after I booked and it is in my account as a travel purchase that can have points redeemed for it.

I never got a check for it because I use the card so it just goes toward money I already spent
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Got it.  So just a way to get cash now.   But if you want to churn this card, can you buy a refundable ticket, use the points to pay it off, and then downgrade (so that your account closes with a credit, which they'd have to send by check)?

From my experience with them and from what they have told me in regards to that: No.

Does the arrival card have any sort of return protection? To make a long story short my new suit decided it wanted a paint job :(

How long since you last had it? Also some have suggested downgrading to non+ before cancelling; did you do that?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
