i know this was discussed, but was there a definitive answer as to whether or not the AA gift card is still working for the airline credit?

I did it 12/30/18 and got credit.  Have there been reports to the contrary since then?

Yes, I did the last one in mid January and was OK, but later there were some reports that it did not work anymore, looking for very recent data if anyone tried.

Thanks so AA is definitely done for GCs. So what works now in GCs is Southwest $100 and Delta $50? Any data if both of these in the mentioned denominations are still working?

a year ago i spoke with an agent about the gift card credit for delta which i wasn't sure at the time if it would work (it did in the end) and he made it sound that of course it would work and that they wanted you to use the credit for air travel and that if it didnt work to call back and hell place notes on the account that they should manually apply the credit.

now this guy might of been new to amex, or just wasn't totally clear on the rules. either way amex does have the capacity to manually put these through even if the system doesn't recognize it.

so i guess if you really want to do AA GC maybe be upfront with them, try calling and asking if i put this charge through will you be able to manually apply the credit if it doesn't go through?

What can I do if I was denied the signup bonus for the Amex business platinum? I chatted with someone at Amex and they said there is no appeals process. Before this card I hadn't opened a card at Amex in a couple of years (and I never had a platinum card).  Not sure why they flagged my account. I mean, I have opened and closed a few cards in the past (a few years ago) but nothing egregious. I did see a popup before I signed up that I wouldn't be eligible for the bonus but it was the last day before the annual fee was raised and I figured I could probably deal with it after I had the card.

yea not sure what to tell you, except to say i feel bad that the you weren't able to get the bonus.

amex is being transparent now in regards to sign up bonuses. if you receive that pop up you are NOT going to recieve the bonus. i was told recently that even if you do not recieve that pop up your account still may not recieve the bonus if they review it after the approval process, i have not heard any data on this from consumers but this is what i was told by an amex rep a few weeks ago.

there trying to crack down on gaming.

Yes. Personal experience on two cards. The 10% back did not work, though.
