Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Interesting. What compelled you to try it? You hadn't gotten any new platinums in those 18 months?

I would've thought you'd be risking $100, but it sounds like you confirned that it had been done successfully before you did it.

Actually I am pretty sure that it is widely known by the old timers.

Could be. I have more GE credits than I know what to do with, so I never bothered looking into that.

Give them  out as gifts, to less fortunate people.
  I would have gladly paid the $100 out of pocket , its certainly worth it for anyone who travels internationally

Even though some have experienced otherwise and can advise on this better, here is what the website says:

Card Members are eligible to receive one (1) statement credit every five (5) years for the application fee for either Global Entry or TSA Pre when charged to an eligible Card. Card Members will receive a statement credit for the first program (either Global Entry or TSA Pre ) to which they apply and pay for with their eligible Card regardless of whether they are approved for Global Entry or TSA Pre. However, Card Members can receive no more than one $85 credit or $100 credit, depending on which program the Card Member first applies for, every 5 years for an application fee charged to an eligible Card.

If you're not sure, just add an AU, use the GE credit and cancel the AU.
