3. Get $200 reimbursement
4. Cancel entire flight, getting back flight cost + $250 in pet fees in one lump sum

Is this correct?
Have you (or anyone else) successfully tried this yet and was able to keep the credit after the refund? Also to confirm.. should I be using my Amex to book the flight itself, or use a different card? (previous posts in 2019 indicated booking the flight itself with a non-amex card...)
