Airline fee $200/$100 reimbursement reports: DL only [2011 - 2015]
I only fly delta domestically so I reg'ed with delta and use it for inflight meals, because of the $200 dollar credit I have been generous on my flights buying neighbors food/drinks etc.

Can I buy a sky club membership (for someone else) and get $200 in credit back?
What about international award ticket redemption fees for taxes, etc.? They seem to post as "Additional collection".

$200 pet fee was refunded by Amex without question or request.

Buy miles?
Can you use the $200 to buy miles? If so, then for $168 you would get 9K SkyMiles. (Have to buy in set increments so the next choice would be 12K miles for $224. This includes the current 50% bonus on buying miles.) Granted, this is not a screaming deal, but come the end of the year if you have credit to spend......

DL's miles purchases are posted as DL, appearing like a ticket, not by a third party vendor. Not sure how AMEX's systems are set up in terms of detecting if the transaction is refundable. IIRC, the "ticket" type is in the miscellaneous category, similar to bag fees.

Is the $150 dollar fee, I'm only an FO on Delta, considered a ticket charge or is it something else so that I could use the 200 towards changing a ticket

Has anyone tried to purchase a Delta Gift Certificate and got the Amex refund?

This could be a work around for using the credit to purchase flights plus if you don't use the certificate you can get cash back for a 10% charge.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already...
I got 2 award tickets on DL to Europe with $200 in taxes($100 per). I was reimbursed under the $200 airline credit.

Anyone have any luck getting reimbursed for buying Delta gift cards? If so, what increments were those bought in?

I haven't seen any successful besides Delta yet. There was the question around whether Delta gift cards worked, but I haven't seen a post to suggest either way. I wish Amex was more clear on what is reimbursable and what isn't. It feels more like a guessing game to take advantage of the benefit. I would say there seems to be a pattern of small purchases getting reimbursed (gift cards, cheap flights, etc.) So maybe Amex is clearing everything below a certain threshold. I wish I knew how their system was determining what gets credited and what doesn't. Frustrating....

Wait, I didn't get it... Anyone tried to buy a Delta gift card and got reimbursed for it? If that is the case, what was the gift card amount?
Thank you!
Thank you!
