Cancelled AA gift cards that are refunded , Amex does not remove the credit, it has been weeks and the credit was not clawed back, if I can only figure out how to make them cancel an order?

Did 14 AA GC a few weeks ago.
Got credit for all by Amex.

Today I see AA canceled all GC and issued me a refund.

Now waiting to see if Amex will retract Airline credit.

Did Amex eventually retract the credit?

Is this really true regarding the $200 airline credit per card?
$19,800 in airline credit ?

Each additional card is eligible for one statement credit every four years toward the Global Entry/TSA PreCheck application fee. Incidental air travel fees charged by both Platinum and Gold card members are eligible for statement credits (up to $200 annually). These cards also can receive Amex Offers.

$200 total.
Meaning all the uses can equally spend to max out the Airline credit fee of $200?

First time with an aspire credit and Tried to pggm and I guess delta doesn’t allow it to work anymore. Anyone know if any other airlines do? Would really appreciate the help. Thank you

Cool. Thank you!
It may not work every time, but I can confirm it definitely did for me. Worst they'll say is no. I used $25.

How much did you already use? How did you ask? I chatted with them, and just told them I wanted to choose my airline. Didn't mention the fact that I already did.
