Airlines to refund the tax on tickets booked before July 23.

How wonderful. seems that the IRS has a surplus.

Maybe China borrowed a bit too much money

This Great Deals should last till September 1st, That is when the House comes and votes on the FAA Budgets

So if you want to save on Amex Mileage Transferring, you got till Sep 1st

does this make sense?
i flew numerous time tlv-nyc-tlv on continental and paid approx. $120-150 for a baby ticket, i just booked elal and paid $210 and this should be with the cheaper tax?

bitbythedog · « **Reply #26 on:** August 04, 2011, 08:56:04 AM »

A baby ticket is 10% of the full fare ticket in the class you are flying. + taxes and fees. Prices will vary depending how much a full fare ticket is at the time of booking.

No chance on getting AMEX to refund transfer fees prior to when they stopped charging, right?

A good SM will always work. I got credit for the transfer fees thru SM, even on the times there wasn't a FAA shutdown. So now you definitely have good chances.

Q274 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 14, 2011, 02:51:12 AM »

is anyone getting charged the amex transfer fees retroactively? i think i am not 100% sure, can anyone here confirm this?

aussiebochur · « **Reply #33 on:** September 15, 2011, 03:57:03 AM »

From here it seems like it may go away again Sept 16.
If it happens, a good a time as ever to transfer CO from Amex with no fee...

If this happens it would be smart for CO to run a promo for Amex transfers, or maybe they figure people will be transferring anyway. Hmmm.

Does SPG also charge for domestic transfers? If not, why are AMEX and SPG different?
