Correct, but American Express' automated system sometimes mistakes other type of small purchases for fees. What works at one airline does not necessarily work at others. You need to read the thread for the specific airline to see what is reliably reimbursed.
oh ok. so i assume when i book a roundtrip ticket to Ecuador and each ticket is 1100 plus, it wont "mistake" that as a fee, id rather assume i will buy the EMS seats and amex will accept that part as the fee
