All the details and the pending and posted charges were the same, except when I logged onto Amex from my computer, there was an additional description line saying "gift card" on the Platinum. This line was not on my Gold transaction.

The only thing I can think of is I may have been logged in on AA.com when I purchased the gift card on my Gold card, and clicked through the site to get to the gift card side, but I'm not sure why this would factor in. Debating if I want to try again but maybe someone else can comment on the logging in thing first
