Amex Platinum/Gold (USA) 5X/3X on OTA's, foreign carriers, fees, award taxes, etc?
Hi all-

I know the published benefit is 5x for travel booked directly through the airlines or Amex travel, but has anyone has success booking through an OTA and still getting the 5x (i.e. charges come though from the airline even though booked through an OTA)? I'm reading different answers, so I'm hoping for some data points.

I have an itinerary that I can book on Priceline, but I can't get it to price out using Amex travel or the airline directly. Any help/DPs are most welcome.

TIA
