Thanks, curious when you flew last time using the certificate or Amex card?
I remember we didn’t need to use the card to qualify for free checked bags, but they changed it at some point recently, from the link you shared: “
Airfare must be purchased with your Card to qualify for this benefit. ”

My wife and I (both card holders) have used both the Costco Certs and flights booked via Amex (when they have had Amex offers for AS) and received the free bag benefit.
