Does anyone have any experience/success getting reimbursed for the taxes and costs associated with transferring Alaska miles to another mileage plan member?
Are these transfers processed directly by Alaska? Thanks

Full $100 credit posted yesterday! Woo hoo!

OK, I am going to jump back in and try another GC . The last one did not credit.
Hope this one works, sounds like it should.

Just checked AmEx account online and my GC from August just got credited to account !!!!(Already paid
bill) so, now I have credit in account. Fabulous!!

i just checked my amex acct and 50 50 100 all credited! wohoo! from aug purchase..

Mine posted Oct 11, two days after purchase. That's more like it!

AMEX $200 GC Reimbursement seems to be based on amount
 

Based on my experience of the past 2 weeks, the $200 reimbursement for gift certificates appears to be based on dollar amount. I bought four $50 certificates all at once for $200 and after 10 days no reimbursement. I then bought four more $50 certificates in separate transactions a few days apart and all were reimbursed in a few days.

I bought a 50 GC on 10/16, got reimbursed on 10/19.

All of mine since I got the AMex have been refunded now.

GD just tried on her card. However she is having problems - we've not got the confirmation email, nor has the person we sent the GC to got the numbers. We purchased it Friday. We just called them and they claim to have resent everything but still no emails. I see the purchase on her Amex card so it went through the whole process.

Is anyone else having problem purchasing the gift cards?

Well on the 2nd resend the recipient got it though we have still not got our receipt.. I guess their system was having some problems. But they are very nice when you call and will resend the GC.

Purchased 1 x $200 10/16 - not credited (spousal miscommunication)

Purchased 1 x $100 10/22 - credited 10/28

Still alive. 2x $50 cards in the one hit, posted as transaction as "Gift Cert" but still refunded by Amex.

Win win!

How much time is it taking nowadays to get the credit ?, I bought 1 X $50 4 days ago but still no credit.

Sorry for asking a basic question, but I was just approved for a Platinum upgrade yesterday. How exactly does the annual calendar cutoff work? I plan on getting GC's right away this year, but not sure how to use next year's $200? Thank you!

i bought a $100 gc that posted on 11/30 as a gift cert and still no credit so it might be ymmv.

No credit yet
 

Purchased $100 x 1 gc on Dec 3. No credit yet.
But also purchased $44 x 1 gc for southwest on another card and that one doesn't post as a gc and also no credit yet. same date.

Anyone gotten credit lately?
