Yes, as a data point: I was reimbursed for an Alaska Lounge membership in December.
The caveat was that I had to call AmEx to get it applied. The customer service representative said something to the effect of "Since the amount of your purchase was greater than the amount of remaining credit, it wasn't automatically applied to your account" (which seems odd).
But it wasn't a problem, and she handled it in a couple of minutes: I was charged $295 for the lounge membership, and credited back $181.80. (I had a couple of small incidentals early in 2017 that reduced the remaining credit slightly.)
