PP Select does not give you a digital card.

Fwiu CSR does not give digital card as opposed to Amex plat which does.
I guess my only option would be to charge card & get refund.

At the very least, they will credit the lounge charge for your first visit - probably also for 2.  Personal experience.

Are you sure that Amex will refund you for the lounge?

And I think he may be referring to the CSR.
Never believe a chat rep, unless it's in the t&c

ETA:
There's DROPR, and then there's NEROAPR (Never Ever Rely On Amex Phone Rep).

and chat reps below that

U think it depends on the airline that issued the ticket.

UA travel bank, you can change your selected airline as often as you want through chat though.
Are you sure about this ?
IIRC people were saying that's only before its been used

Officially once its been used you can no longer change, in practice they are allowing it although they could at some point stop that

Not sure where this question belongs.
Reserved and prepaid for a car rental with my Amex. I just called to make a change to the reservation and they said that the extra $$$ will be paid at pick up.
Just want to make sure that having the total price for the car rental split into 2 transactions won't effect the coverage that my cc offers?

The current offer for biz plat is only 75,000. The 100k offer expired in January. Check the link.

Did you select an airline? Is the card connected to the transaction the BP?

Thanks for replying. Yep, I did it all correctly. I just called MR, and they applied the refund manually. :)
