If i buy bought a bunch of delta GC's to get the airline reimbursement (which i did get reimbursed for already) but now i want to turn those GC's to liquid cash. Can I return them to Delta and still have -200 balance in my account on amex or i need to sell them ?
Not sure why you thought Delta will take them back. You'd have to to sell them.
Life is as good as you make it...

Lol - i guess that was a stupid question. Anyway - in some peoples humble opinion , is it better to buy a physical gift card or an e gift card for selling purposes ?

Are you telling people that they must be humble about their options?

Sorry - not effectively helping me but also just being humorous... any likelihood of a physical card getting sold over an electronic card?

Not really either should be fine.

MR will always post one statement after they go to pending.
-1 my statement closed and the bonus points are still pending, I tried chatting and calling but they all say that they wont even expedite the spending points because that will automatically expedite the bonus points.
 
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

While this is true, I've never gotten a no on such a request, especially more than once, combined with the news about RAT..

Do you have another active MR earning card, or is the card with the bonus offer your only currently active card?

Can somebody please link to/post the information of how to get the $200 travel credit through Delta by buying extra legroom and then canceling the charge?  I remember reading it in a topic wiki or post, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Your name says it all.... lol!

It has been removed for obvious reasons.

Go read this thread and the $200 Amex Credit thread.

Can you link to the thread you're referring to? I can't find information on how to get the $200 credit via a Delta purchase.

Is the enhanced business plat card considered the same product as reg business plat card for the binus or a different product?

That post is 4 years old.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
