So each ticket will get a separate charge. It won't be one charge of $5,000+. It's possible it depends the airline, but this was my experience with United, JetBlue, AA, and ElAl.

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

Wondering if there's any dps... Around a year and a half ago I got a letter stating that Amex will only charge me 195 for the platinum until further notice.
Anyone else get this? 
Any dps why this when and why this happens? 
If I add additionals to the account, could that make them up the annual fee (besides for the price of the additional)
PMS are welcome.

AA GC for Travel Credit
« Reply #9306 on: January 04, 2019, 01:57:08 PM »
I purchased 2 AA E GC's of 100 each in 1 transaction on 12/31 and it posted as a single 200 charge. Still no Amex credit. How long does it usually take to post?

Any advice?

Same here, except with SW.  I chatted and Amex said it can take up to 2 weeks.

Yes, but is it your 2019 credit or your 2018 credit?

Hopefully my 2018, if not i assume it'll be easy to fight it, since the charge posted 2018.

When doing $100x2 in a transaction it will always post as a $200 charge. It's not a problem, the TC should post
