My employer recently switched over to AmTrav A2B, and I am considering booking through them but am wondering how the charge comes through and specifically whether I would get 5x on my Amex Platinum despite it not being booked direct, as I heard the charge comes through from the airline (e.g., AA). I'm looking at a TATL J flight and it is ~$2,000+ less than AA.com. If it doesn't code correctly for my Platinum, then I'd use my CSR for 3x.
