Has anyone gotten sign up bonus by buying visa/master/amex giftcards to meet spending requirement? I need recent data points. Thanks!

yes but to get a money order you will need one that has a debit pin which amex does not have
and if you want  to get money order out of it by post office giftcard.com and gift card mall  is usually blocking the transaction

If you pay flight with points for rebate and cancel within 24 hours, do you get the full points back? Or only a refund without the rebate?

It's not always different, travel agent charges show up as airline charges a lot of times, ask your TA. but yes, needs to show up as an airline charge for 5x.

With the TA I use, charges always come from the airline direct.

Not sure if this was mentioned upthread or not, but I got the following email from Amex today:

We're not increasing your annual fee at this time
 



 
We are pleased to let you know we have decided not to increase your annual fee at this time.
 
We previously sent you a letter stating that your Annual Membership Fee would increase to $550.00 on 2017-11-15. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
 
You don't need to take any action. The Annual Membership Fee on your account will remain $450.00.
 
Thank you for your Card Membership.
 
Sincerely,
 
American Express Customer Care


Until when is this effective? On DDMS it said from 9/1 it would be $550. I guess they changed that since. Anyone know the new switchover date?

My new AF was $550 a month ago.
