Thanks.

Exactly my experience on the same dates. Was worried when statement showed only a single charge of$215. Then today the $200 credit. Yeah

Hello, I am new here and just tried this last week. Did your account show the full $215 posting and then the credit in a day or two? Or did you buy the gift cards separately? Thanks!

The airline fee credit benefit is capped at $200, so you will not be reimbursed the full $215.

My reimbursement was for the full $200 all at once, even though I purchased 4 separate gift cards (it was all done in one transaction, however).

What did it say under the transaction description in your statement for the gift card purchase?

**EDIT: Received my credit today (5/8/12)

I used the platinum card to pay the tax and fees of 3 award ticket. $50 dollar was refunded to me for each ticket because of the dividend mile processing fee. Ordering gift cards seems to be a better solution so that I can put the award ticket charges on the gold charge card other than the platinum card, which give me more MR points.

Got a first class upgrade refunded

This is bizarre. I had $190 left to be reimbursed.

First flight, I upgraded to exit row (choice seat) for $89 at check-in. Didn't get credited for it. The charge detail online says "Document Type : UPGRADE CHARGE"

Second flight a week later, I upgraded to first class at check-in for $225. The charge detail online says: "Document Type : SPD/AIR FREIGHT" -- I got a credit for $190 two days later.

/not complaining

Now the mailing I got from Amex a few weeks ago clarifying what is credited said that upgrades are not eligible, but seat assignment fees are. So I guess a US choice seat is considered an upgrade and is even coded as such, but a first class paid upgrade is not an upgrade?!?!? I think it all boils down to how the "document type" is reported.

Plat $200 airline credit

Thepointsguy wrote in his blog that the $200 airline credit is based on calendar year so basically if you got the Plat in December 12 you can get a $200 credit and than in January you can get another $200 airline credit...is this true??????? if so it makes the Plat and unbelievable value as its basically free...also, can you use the credit towards the trial elite status with US Airways?
