Want to assess whether booking a porter freedom fare or AC latitude fare late in 2013 to use 200 credit and cancelling with airline directly (allowing for an airline credit for future use) is possible. Effectively, create an airline gift card with the $200 credit.
Depends. I booked some flights via Amex PTS when using $200 credit, and it was charged to the card as "AMEX CANADA INC. TORONTO". Not a direct airline charge.
