I believe as much as you buy, that's how much credit you will get.
do I have to split up the $200 or can I do it all in one shot?

Does anyone know if you can do a balance transfer from this platinum charge card to a credit card from a different bank?

if its a small separate charge it should still trigger, buy the main flight on another cc and the upgrade on the plat.
So TARB if you are so sure it will work
