Didn't see a formal wiki posted at the top, and been browsing through the comments, but many seem rather old. Any current / recent options for utilizing remaining annual airline credits for JetBlue gift cards? Or other similar means of travel? Seems very doable with other airlines (eg Delta, American) and not feasible with others (eg United). Wondering about JetBlue on behalf of a parent who already selected their account into JetBlue for this calendar year. Thanks much!

Airline Reimbursement
Bought 2 tickets for travel in Feb and was reimbursed the remaining credit that covered one ticket not to mention the 3X points I earned on the Gold. Nice!

Curious to know, has anyone ever successfully been reimbursed with upgrading their ticket to Mint (even if it's partial)? I know technically that's another class of service and isn't covered, but a lot of things with AMEX shouldn't be covered but is.

Did you find out whether it would work?

It must be a separate transaction for American Express to recognize it as an incidental fee. If you bundle it into the ticket purchase, it's seen as part of the ticket price.

Just a random data point but I bought Jet Blue tickets through Amex travel portal last week, using my Amex Points for 35% back. Somehow I got both the deduction for using Amex points, and an additional $200 deduction as "Amex Airline Fee Reimbursement".
Not sure if this was a mistake or what.

So to quickly confirm (long time Chase card user, just received Amex PRG), purchasing a ticket and then subsequently purchasing an EMS seat qualifies for the credit? Thanks all.
