Regarding the $200 incidental credit, if I forgot to select airline first, but immediately after making airline charge I remebered and selected proper airline, will I be automatically credited or will I need to call in to have it credited manually?
TIA!

For the airline credit, if the  charge posted on the 31st, will I still get credit for 2017 if the amex credit posted on Jan 2?

Was able to get SPG bonus again just past 7 years.

Was the card closed for 7 years?

Does it make a difference who the global entry is registered for in regards to me receiving a credit? I already have GE and want to get it for my wife and others, I have a few cards, specifically the Plat with credit for it. Will they approve the credit if it's for her?

Not true
I know someone who claimed it worked, one of two things happened here I guess. 1 he misunderstood and is not getting anything back. 2 he got credited by mistake and they will take it up with him...

so if you believe him then go for it. If you believe us then you wouldn't try it as it does not work.

Look at the response I gave, which you quoted. I clearly take your word over his and will not try it
