AMEX vs Chase Cards - difference in how they post Airline charges not made directly
Ive noticed that AMEX and Chase cards post airline charges differently when made through a travel agent (not made directly through the airline).
This was an interesting fact when using the cards for the purposes of getting more then 1X points....when you do not book directly with the airline....as there are some situations for some where you might be unable to.
In this case it was 2 separate UA flights in 2014
AMEX posted by the name of the Travel Agency - in the details said "Doing business as United Airlines" - no 2x points
Chase card posted as United Airlines. - received 2x points
