No.
IME $150 physical GC did trigger
Does this still work for Saks credit?

Is there any other way to use the $20 wireless credit besides actually paying my cell phone bill? Do purchases of accessories from major wireless retailers like Verizon and TMobile trigger the credits?

Any reason not to cash out MR to UA or B6 for credit plus 35% bonus?

Apologies if this is a stupid question but I just got the Amex Plat (personal) for the first time.

I have 2 weeks to use my airline credit and just booked Jetblue flights. I know my tickets arent eligible for the credit, but can I now book even more space seats before the flight? Would that trigger the credit? Any other thoughts on how to use it in the next 2 weeks?
TIA!

For the $200 renewal travel credit available only on Amex travel, how can I turn this into a long term credit? Would booking UA flight then cancelling with UA work to get a ETC? Any other ideas? thanks

Bump.

I'm signing up and I'm not seeing anything about the $200 airline credit. Is this gone?
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

Does anyone have experience with the recent Amex Plat offer with the 10x points at gas stations/supermarkets... wondering whether there are DPs for clawbacks for VGC purchases at supermarkets?
