Also there it is no "air fare credit", it is a $200 annual credit for airline incidentals billed to your card (excludes air fare and annual airline club fees). Airline incidentals include day passes to airline clubs, baggage fees, and ticket change and/or booking fees. That is what I was told when I tried to claim my annual Admirals Club renewal fee toward the annual $200 and was told no. Once the charges have posted to your CC you must call Chase to claim credits toward the annual $200 limit as it is not automatic.
Sorry to put a damper of your expectations, but at least you are prepared and don't have to come back here and find the answers after your CC bill arrives.
With AMEX Plat you have to pick one airline and then they automatically remove the charges from your bill for that airline. Kind of restrictive, but simple once you pick the airline.
With the Ritz card, you have to remember to call in after you charge something (in my case, buy on board meal) and ask them to remove it. A little bit of a hassle, but I like the fact that they do not restrict you to a single airline.
I'll have to give the concierge a call and try it out.
