Has anyone had luck recently with SW e-mail gift cards? I purchased one on 4/2, but haven't seen a reimbursement.
Details look like this:
Ticket Number : 5260003340285 Date of Departure : 1231
Passenger Name :
Document Type : SPD/AIR FREIGHT
Hoping someone can confirm that its still working.

Has anyone tried buying 1x$200 gift card? Also, I want to buy an itinerary costing $279, would I get credit for $200 of that?

AMEX does not reimburse for actual tickets, only for "incidentals." If you buy a $279 ticket you will not get a $200 credit. If you buy 2 $100 gift cards (preferably in separate transactions), you will most probably get a $200 reimbursement from AMEX and could use the gift cards towards the flight.
Of course things can change at any time. AMEX might stop reimbursing for gift cards or change the limit of what's considered "automatic" in terms of reimbursements to something less than $100. Ya pays your money, ya takes your chances.

The conventional wisdom is that purchases of $100 or less are automatically reimbursed. You can use multiple gift cards for a single ticket.

Reporting back with success! 4/21 purchase of $75, 4/24 credit. Guess the lesson is to register, wait a day (or two) then purchase.
