Didn't understand your question, thought you asking if you add green AU's on PL.
I want to add for the bonus just wanted to make sure that it applies if I add an AU but with green card so ita free (vs plat or gold which AU cost money)

Are you asking if adding green AU on PL account? Or adding green to green account?

Not sure the AF on BP for AU, on Personal PL gold AU is free, and adding Gold AU worked for the bonus.

Something strange happened with my Platinum business card, can anyone explain this? i purchased a OW jet-blue ticket through Amex travel and paid with MR. i received a credit for the charge twice, once for paying with points and again a few days later from "AMEX AIRLINE FEE REIMBURSEMENT", see below. Not sure what to make of this but its probably the easiest way to to cash out the annual airline fee.

JUN21   
AMEX Airline Fee Reimbursement
-$107.20

JUN21
ONLINE PAYMENT - THANK YOU                  
-$1.00   

JUN18   
AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL - CHICAGO, IL      
$107.20      

JUN18   
AMEX TRAVEL PURCHASE WITH MR POINTS CREDIT
-$107.20

I opened a amex plat for 100k bonus and I finished payment on the $5k. The annual fee didn't post yet to my account. can I cancel the card and get the annual fee back, if the points post to my account and I didn't pay the annual fee yet? Does the points usually post to the account before you pay the fee?
Will they take the points back if I do this?

you are asking for trouble. You got 100k points and you can get $400 of travel credits. So you are paying $50 for 100k points that's a good deal. Cancel or downgrade after the first year

I did it in the past after 60 days with no consequences, before they changed it to 30 days language. I just want to know if they got stricter?

Some cards include the language that  if you cancel or downgrade your account within 12 months after acquiring it we may not credit bonus points to your account.

No, if you see language that specifies otherwise, why are you even asking a question.
