I just called the number for AA's gift card provider to inquire and was given a bs explanation, that being that the e-mail address provided for the purchaser (myself) belonged to a "foreign corporation with no U.S. address", and thus the purchases were "blocked".
When I pointed out that this made no sense, given that the e-mail address domain of "ygm.com" is one that is offered through AOL mail (off topic... but for those who are wondering, it stands for "You've Got Mail"), they weren't able to provide any other details and simply suggested that I double check my credit card billing address and phone number before making any further purchases.
Also, even though all three gift cards have been invalidated, they have not yet credit my card account, but I was told it they should process the credit in about a week.

It's not really a problem now. It's better than GCs in that you're getting $200 free credit on your Amex. Cash>giftcards. But more worrying is whether this is the first step toward AA gc reimbursement not happening on the Amex Platinum....

I can happily report that I got 2 stickers (2x$30) reimbursed for the last weeks in a row for a total of $180. I'll be doing the 7th one tomorrow in hopes of the remaining $20 of $30 being reimbursed as well.

Just a couple of quick questions
Appreciate confirmations for a couple of quick questions
1. AA e-giftcert (virtual gift certicate) can be used to purchase 'all' those partners (codeshare) airlines' price such as Alaska Air, oneworld partner, or even Continental/UsAirway as listed under Other Airline partner, as long as it is book-able on aa.com, correct?
2. One e-giftcert does 'not' have to be used in one purchase and the residue value stays until I apply it to the next purchase, right?
Thanks

Welcome to Flyertalk. You need a personal or Business Platinum card (annual fee $450). The $200 airline fee benefit is explained here:

Generally speaking, tickets aren't incidental expenses. Many have had good luck getting gift cards ~$50 (some higher) and have had this count as 'incidental' expenses. Some have even gotten very low priced tickets counted.
Examples of incidental expenses might include food/drink onboard, baggage and other add-on fees/costs at check in, so forth.
Outright buying miles doesn't count, as they are billed from points.com and not AA. I don't recall any reports of anyone trying to see if Mileage Multiplier is counted. EDIT: This is reported to work down thread, but like anything it is subject to change at any time and your actual results may vary
The Plat card has other beneifts. it gets you access to some lounges under certain conditions, and will credit the $100 GOES fee. With the $200 airline credit, these perks may pay back enough of the $450 annual fee to make it worth your while, or not.

SusieLing - Just a couple of quick questions
In response to:
2. One e-giftcert does 'not' have to be used in one purchase and the residue value stays until I apply it to the next purchase, right?
Yes that is correct SusieLing. I just did this myself last week and used $42 of a $50 e-gift cert on one ticket on aa.com. Then I used the balance on another ticket in a separate transaction.

Now could someone help with the 1st question -- can use the e-gift cert to buy any flight (for example, operating by AS, CO, other oneworld member) bookable from aa.com?
Thanks
