Quick question - are reimbursements calculated by calendar year of when the charge occurred, or when the credit was issued? Say if I have an eligible transaction on the 26th, but the credit doesn't post until after January 1st, will it count for 2015 still or 2016? Thanks!

I could be mistaken, but I know I had dozens of award booking fees automatically refunded circa 2012-2013. Have used all $200 for eCerts since then, so haven't checked recently, but I presume it still works that way. Maybe someone can confirm/reject?

Yes, award ticket taxes/fees are (IIRC) specifically eligible for the credit. I used my entire credit on award ticket fees in Q1 2015, and plan to again in early 2016.
Not using official terms, here, but the Amex coding goes off of the charge classification, not whether or not a 006 number is attached. Award fees come through for me as "Additional Collection" and not "Travel - Airline" which I believe is what makes the fee credit pick up.
+1

After you have purchased a Delta gift card, for whom can the value of the card be used?
Only for the recipient? Or for anyone the recipient would like to buy a ticket?
For example, if I bought a gift card for my wife, would she have to be the person traveling? Or could she use the value of the gift card to buy a ticket for our daughter?

I use the prg heavily for restaurants and don't tend to do 30 swipes in a month so.... its a toss up. Really hate using amex serve to make a fake swipe or go out of my way for swipes.
Especially since amex has been so good to me with CLIs
