Had no trouble getting the credit for a similarly timed and coded Platinum purchase.
Used Amex chat and just asked why it didn’t get credited like the Platinum did and they asked whether it was an in flight fee, seat change fee, baggage fee, or something else. I politely exited the chat before answering.
Anyone have any hints to push this through?
[MENTION=10056570]northinsouth[/MENTION] is correct. Here is the wiki stickied at the front of the 2022 thread:
Additional Collections/Split Tender -- THIS IS A LOOPHOLE. BE DISCREET

TL;DR: Anything coded as an additional collection (a.k.a. add/collect or a/c), including difference in fare when changing flights,
and accepting an FCM offer, also triggers the credit and will be reimbursed,
provided that the amount charged to your card is $250 or less (regardless of card type, e.g. there have been reports of full $100 credit for Gold card on a/c over $100 and full $200 credit for Plat on a/c over $200, but always $250 or less --
exactly $250 is known to work)
