Things like change fees, in-flight food purchases, baggage fees, seat fees, etc., are all examples of rebateable fees. So too is airline wifi so long as the vendor of the wifi service is the airline. If the vendor is Gogo or Panasonic or Viasat, no credit.
Oh, the dollar credit is applicable to one airline per year, and you must nominate your airline of choice. You can't get seat fees from AA, beverage purchases from United, and baggage fees from Frontier. It all has to be one airline.
Ok. I have the Amex Plat. AA is my nominated airline and the AA WiFi monthly charge is on my Amex card. I haven't checked but I don't think it qualifies for the $200 credit. My credit always goes completely unused sadly.
