Is the $179 clear credit a 1 time thing or is it annual?
Annual

I'm sure it's been asked before and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes...
1. On biz plat, do added employee green cards get their own TSA/Global entry credit?
3. On personal plat, do added GOLD card receive their own TSA/Global entry credit?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Please confirm this if you know:
I get one Global Entry fee rewarded per card, so each free additional Green card (on a biz plat account) is entitled to one refund? And the name on the card does not have to match the name on Global Entry?
Thanks.

Correct

Was advised via chat that the 1m cap for 35% amex travel MR rebate was per BP account, not per MR account. Have screenshots. Phone reps won't say anything beyond "we can't apply any more than the 1m rebate, wait until next year". This is a question of about 800k MR.

I think the next thing move me would be a CFPB complaint. I've had success with them in the past with Barclays accounts, but I value my Amex relationship far more. My question for anyone who has experience with this is, do I run any risk of retaliation from amex for a complaint that they don't like?

If I have 2 amex business platinum and register 2 airlines for 35% will I receive rebate for both ? 

(Depending on which card I put the charge on I assume ?   - what about if I put the charge on a 3rd card  non bp card will I get the rebate ?)

If I have an additional user as a gold card under my platinum account, would they still qualify for a refund for global entry?

As long as its J,F or ur chosen airline, and the entire payment must be made using points, i have it take from 2 weeks till 8+ weeks

FYI - My annual airline credit is for UA and today they told me that my charge for $100 a few days ago (for UA Travel Bank) is coded as a "Special Service Ticket " and will NOT be covered by this card benefit.

If I do return protection on a $2000 laptop, what is the likelihood they will make me send it in?

Anyone?
RP maxes out at $300 per occurrence.  Not sure what your objective is here.  If you're question is whether they will make you return the laptop for a $300 claim, I suspect that they won't but not sure anyone here will know the answer...

That's purchase protection, not return protection.
