Haven't been following recently, but I thought Amex airline credit works as long as the charge posts before year end, nothing to do with statement close.
Ftfy, was referring to being able to change selected airline, I was thinking it may be easier if the statement already closed

Booked with biz plat for 50% back by phone, she verified my biz card... But I see the charge is on personal plat.

 I think people did this on purpose in the past for 5x but don't want an issue with rebate. Is it a problem?

Any suggestions on how to get an amex rep to allow me to use a hard coded no language biz plat app? I've called 3 times and they all said it's hardcoded.

Upon pushing to allow me to use it, one rep even responded "that would be fraud, sir" LOL.

help, on the phone with rewards, they are saying since it was charged to personal plat the points will not be applied, need to cancel and re-book, if so they really messed up! are they simply wrong?
