Is there a best way to cleanly harvest the $200 on DL without buying drinks, snacks or memberships.
I have not flown AA (though I have 150K miles to burn thx Citi) so I don't really want AA gift cards, and the tiny chance that they don't get reimbursed would stink if I elect AA for the entire year. |

Best way to be honest is to purchase the AA gift cards, sell it, and use the cash to get what you want. If you buy $50 worth of AA gift cards it's still worth $50. When you sell you might sell for $40-45. If you are worried about not getting reimbursed, it's pretty much for any transaction thus making you call into CS and requesting a manual credit. |
I redeemed some (lots) miles for a J award to Europe this summer. DL charged me about $150 in fees. This was a couple of weeks ago and the offset credit has not yet posted (I did select DL as my 2011 airline a while back). Time for a secure message?

up to you. definitely if it's not on the next statement you get in the mail.
my credits have posted online with a varying number of days but they've always been on the same monthly statement as the charges.

Has anyone bought a DL Gift Cert yet?

Can the $200 AXP Plat Credit be used for the new DL Economy Comfort? Thanks

Have seen people here who had to argue for their credit. Heaven forbid they actually honor what they offer without us having to demand it.
I purchased the US club membership. 4 weeks later, still no credit. I sent a secure message asking for the credit to my account specifically for the purchase of a US Club membership. Here's the response: "I understand your concern. I would like to inform you that the $200.00 Airline Fee Credit benefit is applicable for the following charges only: Checked baggage fees Overweight/oversize baggage fees Change fees Phone reservation fees Pet flight fees Airport lounge day passes and annual memberships Seat assignment fees In-flight amenity fees (beverages, food, pillows/blankets, etc) In-flight entertainment fees (excluding wireless internet) This credit is not applicable for the following charges: Airline tickets Charges processed by merchants other than the airline the Cardmember is enrolled in (for example, inflight Internet services providers such as GoGo) Charges made by airline partners (for example, Cardmember purchase ticket on enrolled airline Delta, but purchases food on an Air France flight) Trip insurance / baggage insurance Ticket upgrades (Including American Airlines Upgrade Stickers) Travel agent fees Point transfer fees Duty free purchase Award ticket fees Gift cards issued by Airlines I hope you find this information useful." |
I had booked a ticket using e-credit vouchers on DL. There was $116 remaining on my ticket that I charged to my Platinum card. I then cancelled that ticket later that day and rebooked, this time the difference after vouchers was $106. Today I had too credits post. First was for 106 and the second for 94... very interesting. Will be interesting to see if they stand and one doesn't get taken away since I had a refund posted too...

Here is one way it worked that surprised me. I used it to pay the taxes and fees on a Delta international award tickets. I was reimbursed in 1 day. Well, I had to cancel the ticket a while later (free for PMs and DMs, so no cost there) , my credit card was refunded for the amount (which was a good bit over $100) and amex didn't take the credit back they gave! In other words, I got the money for free! Don't know if that is a fluke or for real. Try it with an award Res sometime (no risk if you don't have to pay the cancellation)!

Interesting, because my int'l award ticket taxes/fees (appx $150) has not yet been credited and it's been a few weeks since I booked it. :mad:

I was told by AMEX that these are not qualifying charges. I'm not sure if others had luck with getting these fees covered but they were officially excluded from the program according to the email I got.

It all depends on the airline - they code it differently. Like with Delta, they most code it with something that is acceptable to Amex (not as a ticket purchase).
