So if you need to spend $10,000 for the bonus, but that spend includes $200 airline reimbursement and $100 GE credit, you'll have only spent $9,700 and won't get the bonus.
My experience has been the opposite. On my first Amex Plat statement the total charges were $649, and there were $300 in credits (DL and GE reimbursements), final balance due was $349. Yet, I got 649 MR.
