Previous posts indicate that the chances for reimbursement diminish quickly as airfare goes over $100. As for how long this will last, it's anyone's guess. There's little doubt that Amex is fully aware of the loophole, but we can really only speculate as to why it hasn't been closed. Many assume it's because WN does not share the proper level 3 data for Amex to recognize the charge. The strange thing is, if you purchase a ticket under $100, you can clearly see it's a flight purchase on your Amex account. It will even show you your flight times. So, it seems Amex is getting detailed information about the purchase. What gives?
