Do you mean this credit?

This rules out using the credit for a direct purchase from an airline.
The terms specify that only the Basic Cardmember is eligible. That's American Expresspeak for the primary cardholder. Additional cards on the same account are not eligible.
i meant the Gold/Rose (updated benefits from last fall) card in Canada. Assume it likely operates in the same way as platinum but don’t know for sure. CSR said something about “claiming” it after the flight regardless of how booked but I didn’t trust the info. Hence wondering about others’ experience.
