Creative ways to use my $200 AMEX fee allowance on Delta?
Hey All,
As the year ends, I find myself with about $175 of the annual $200 AMEX Platinum's airline fee reimbursement.
My airline of choice was Delta and because I am PM, I don't have to pay for baggage.
Any of you have creative ways (short of buying everyone on board a beer
) to use the $175 I have left before the clocks strikes 12/31?

My point is that it'll save u money if you have a family member who flys and wants access, this way it'll only cost $225 if they don't have status, and less if they're medallions

Charges in excess of $150 have notoriously not been refunded, so buying a SC membership for ~$3-400 would likely not be advised.

Um, trying to track this, is it the case that this benefit is not available on the Platinum Delta card, just on the Platinum non-Delta (null) card?

True, but this promotion would soften the blow a bit.

Wonder if you can use it for the buy-MQM promo that is going on and get the credit?
So whats the deal with the thing about charges over $150 not getting the credit even though it should?
