I had this with one of my plats. Email said that they extended the AF for another year at $450, but it just renewed itself another time at $450 (seems to be grandfathered in - not sure the reason, though)
Not450, they charging me 195... 450 makes sense to be grandfathered. Try to explain 195 though

What happens if transaction posts after 12/31?
It goes by purchase date.

apologies if this is not the correct place, but as I have had all the variants of the Amex Plat I was wondering if anyone that got the email offer to refer two friends to an Amex plat with no lifetime language last month has any spare invites left? If so, please could you PM me? Ta!

You can buy GCs online as well, just their lowest denomination is $150 as opposed to the stores which carry $50 denoms.

This is only for Saks itself, not Off Fifth. But the GCs work for Off Fifth as well.

A) You shouldn’t ask them these things
B) DROPR
C) As stated, it has worked for me on 3 cards and for many others. Have yet to hear a DP of it not working. Feel free to not risk it if you’re nervous.

Anyone recently purchased southwest gift cards and received the airline credit reimbursement? The last one posted in the thread didn’t give an update and I was looking to switch my preferred airline to SW from United as I am getting my companion pass next month or feb

That’s not a random credit that you’ve linked. Did you receive a credit without making and purchases as Saks?

Does the airline charge and saks charge (that get reimbursed) count towards a spending requirement?

You should if it posts as one charge. Each passenger's ticket usually posts separately.
