Reminder: you must enroll and select AS as your airline BEFORE making a reimbursable purchase. Click HERE to enroll.
As of June 2017 gift certificates are no longer reimbursed. Link to buy gift certicates
According to this thread in the Alaska forum the reimbursement of Alaska Club memberships is no longer a problem. To see how much of your annual credit you've used, log in to AmEx, select the card in question, choose "Membership->Benefits" off the menu bar, scroll down to see the travel credit benefit. (with thanks to Lumpylump76)
Tickets cancelled within 24 hours are refunded back to the card used for the purchase.Tickets for travel dates > 60 days out can be deposited to your wallet when cancelled (this has not been true for some time). Change fees may apply depending on your status. Change fees are waived for MVP Gold and MVP Gold 75k members according to this page: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...ID:MileagePlan (expand "service benefits" towards the bottom of the page). The wallet funds will expire one year after the issue date of the original ticket.

Hey guys ... any reason that a purchase of a $100 GC from Alaska wouldn't be refunded as part of the airline credit?
Apologize for the stupid question. First time having this card. AMEX Gold Premier Rewards.

FYI, they said that it will not be credited since it shows up as gift cert 
They did allow me to change it to Delta, so I'll try there.

Hmmm...
Ok, I admit I haven't looked at this too thoroughly recently. It's been my impression that one can buy GCs in amounts not exceeding $100 and patiently await reimbursement. Couldn't tell from this post if poster called? Anyway, this would be a material adverse development if true, since Amex's reimbursement is very inferior to Citi Prestige, Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Any comments? TIA.

Has AS stopped working? Any other data points by any chance?

I recently bought $50 gift certificates on two separate days that both showed as gift certificate on the statement and they were both reimbursed a few days later.
I was also reimbursed for a $58 flight ticket. Perhaps the cut off for auto reimbursement is under $100.
This was with the business platinum

Do AS points purchased while booking a ticket get reimbursed?

Had a $103 AS ticket as well as part of another AS ticket reimbursed at the end of November. Nice not having to worry about buying GCs.

Stacking
Hello all - EOY, and need to burn 3 Amex Plat fee credits. Currently churning on BoA AS cards, looking to build up for upper class JAL or Cathay redemption.
Does anyone have any DP on how many GC you can stack on a single PNR? Also, will GC stack with use of $121 companion pass from BoA card?
