Will travel credit post if using an authorized user card for purchase?
IME with business platinum, yes.

thanks. IMO it's not that clear from their official wording.  It says "each eligible additional card" so one can say it may only be referring to paid additional plat cards but not the free additional green cards

IME as a gold additional user on a personal platinum card, the global entry credit applies even to none-paid additional users

Thanks.  Good to hear first hand from someone.
Yes, as discussed above the credit is even for free additional green cards on the business plat but it's not something I would know without Dan or someone else posting that it worked for them.

Thanks. Dan disagrees btw :)

I'm not sure what the big deal is. Every single Amex rep knows this. It's not some big trick or something.

It's not always about secrets or tricks. Basic (little known) info can be helpful too

credit is for up to $100, so anything less will get fully reimbursed.

+1, although I haven’t seen DPs yet that this is true, there’s no reason it should be any different than their other credits, which are cumulative
