Do United gift cards work for the incidental airline credit?

Thanks.

Happy New Year.

If I add an AU, can I cancel within 60 days from the time the AF is posted to have the AF removed? Or will they charge me a pro-rated price?

and,

How long does it take to have airline credit reimbursed?

Thank you and thank you.
But don't expect to get another airline credit for the AU card. You can get another global entry, though.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

 Some info on the possible 7 years. from FT 

"  I previously held a Platinum card and canceled around ~2008, so about 7 years ago. I recently received a USPS invite for the 100k MR with $3k spend. I did not see any language about being ineligible as a previous acct holder in the offer letter or T&C (or I may have completely missed it). I decided to apply and was instantly approved. Hopefully I'll get the 100k MR and report back.  "

No need to wait 7 years when using a no language offer.

The point is that AFTER 7 years , you MAY get
the no language offer.

I give up. You're right. If this guy got an offer 7 years after there's probably a 7 year program at Amex for sending new mailers out to everyone.

Plenty of no language offers come way before 7 years, that post is a useless data point, just sounds like a n00b that doesn't know about "no language" offers.

Are there any no language offers on personal or only on business?

Had a card 7 years ago . Noobs ?

how's about his name came off a list after 7 years when Amex purges their records which is one theory at FLYERTALK and then marketing sent him an offer .

Is that what you mean by coincidences . Just curious , what are you giving up ?

There are plenty of people and bloggers that have plenty of cards, have been doing this for a while, and still seem pretty clueless about some things.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

My friend signed up for Jetblue to be his airline to get the $200 aircraft credit. Can he buy a $200 GC and have the money reimbursed to his personal plat cc?
