And that thread's wiki states
Travel Bank: There's
a separate thread at this link for general discussion of Travel Bank, including important limitations on its use.
As of Jan 3, 2022,
and with ongoing success in 2023 as reported below, Travel Bank posts as a Special Service Ticket reimbursed by Amex (but unofficially), or United Electronic Ticketing or United Airlines Houston.
Purchase here: https://www.united.com/en/US/account/travelbank If your transaction returns a
Payment Failed error, try adding your American Express card to your United Airlines profile, and repeat the transaction using the stored card.
DO NOT CALL Amex to ask about being credited for this.
Since there is a specific thread in another forum. Best to close this thread and refer the discussion to the pertinent existing thread.
