I'm told referring oneself to Amex card for the points is not a good idea.
What's the next best, exchange?

I think this is a newb question and appreciate the patience.

Will the $200 Dell credit be clawed back if the product is returned? They won't give me a credit, a voucher, a gift card or an exchange. They will only refund to the original form of payment.

I don't remember where I read it but I recall someone saying their credit was clawed back 6 months post refund. And it was obviously too late to reuse at that point.

Possibly if you book it through Delta codeshare and delta is the selected airline. Confirm with others. Iirc, in some cases it worked.

Can you use the $50 saks credit and $30 PP credit at once?
Meaning, if I charge $80 through PP will I get both credits?

The Saks credit works if you pay with PayPal?

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

You can try chatting with them. They may do it, they may not.

Just received a letter from Amex that they are canceling my Schwab Platinum card since my Schwab brokerage account associated with it is not open anymore. Anyone else?
When I login it doesn't say that the account is closed, I still used the account after the date on the letter.
