$200 airline fee reimbursement reports: UA only. [2010 - 2016]
I am a pretty loyal Amex Plat user, but I'm thinking of making the switch since Continental will no longer be a part of the point transfer or lounge programs. I was wondering though that if I stayed, could we use the $200 credit towards yearly lounge membership? I read all the material and it keeps saying "daily". Is that on purpose?

$200 airline fee reimbursement reports: UA/CO only.
Would it work on United to buy up a segment to E+, or to buy the Award Accelerator offers? i.e. all these "Travel Options" they seem to push?

Recent United Experiences
I just flew cross country on United and upgraded to first for miles and cash. As the tickets were dirt cheap I used 15K miles each way and there was a 50.00 charge as well. Both $ 50.00 dollar charges were creditted back by AMEX within 24 hours of checkin (when the charges were incurred). Hope this helps with any decisions people may have.

I upgraded for cash on UA on the day of flight. No $200 credit and the agent I called said that upgrades weren't eligible for reimbursement. I thought they were, and the above poster got it -- so how come I didn't?

THAT's what you hold them to, not some anecdotal reference on a message board. The terms are binding on BOTH parties, and disclosure is required (even if only by reference) if they want to change the terms. |
what about for a RCC membership?

I bought an award ticket with United and it costed me 25.40. This amount was refunded in 2 days.

UA upgrade co-pay covered!
In the past month I did 2 Z -> NF mileage upgrades on UA that had copays of exactly $100 each.
Both times they were automatically reimbursed! FYI, I checked-in online for one segment and at the airport counter for another to test both methods. |

Anybody tried geting reimbursed for Continental.com gift certificates?

I'm not sure if this was already discussed, but figured I'd post anyway. It looks like the $200 airline fee credit is good for the fee they charge to use points for a specific airline. I recently used 100k points for CO and was charged $75 fee and $5 taxes. The $75 fee was reimbursed a few days later. I chose CO when I enrolled for the yearly credit.
