It would appear that making small revenue ticket purchases, like a short-hop one way on Horizon, gets reimbursed through the $200 Amex Plat travel credit.

The purchaser gets their Amex travel credit and still has access to the original purchase price in their AS My Wallet of the refunded ticket as well.
Convoluted but if it works, I'm in. Frankly, if I can't easily get the my Amex Platinum travel credit for AS, I will find it VERY hard to justify keeping my Platinum card. ESPECIALLY with the $100 INCREASE to the annual fee.
