New AMEX Delta Platinum Card
4/10 Purchased $50 gift card

No credit yet for Delta gift card with AmEx Plat purchase
 
I have been purchasing $50 cards the last few years and receiving the credits, just like everyone else has posted. On 4/10, I purchased 1 - $100 gift card, and no credit yet. I see others who purchased $50 cards that day have received credit already. Does the credit not work for the $100 cards, like the $50 cards?

No it does not. American Express' system seems to only mistake $50 cards for fees.

Darn for me. Thank you for the info, mia. Last year, I tried to use too many gift cards on a ticket (it only allows 4 at a time, or something--I do not recall the exact number), so I thought I would go for the $100 one this time. My mistake!

How did that work? You bought it with gift cards or another way?

For the $50 gift cards, I bought 2 of those after my $100 gift card purchase snafu, and received the credit 5 days later. It took so long, I was beginning to think I had messed something up by making the $100 purchase first.

Did you order on desktop or mobile? It won’t work if you’re on mobile site.

Are use my American Express platinum card to literally buy my wife a one-way Delta airline ticket. The price of the ticket was over $200 and a few days later $200 of the ticket cost was reimbursed to me. No gift cards used no laptop use no desk tops site used. I bought it on my iPhone

Interesting, thanks for the info. I never heard of that before. I am thinking of doing the same thing for an upcoming trip (a one-way for both of us). If we do, I guess I will try his on my iPhone to see if I get the rest of my $200 reimbursement.

So followed directions in the Wiki and purchased 4 - $50 e-gift certificates from Delta. on 4/21/19
They immediately posted as one $200 purchase which I was told they would do.
4/23/19 - the purchase was separated into individual $50 Delta purchases.
4/24/19 - AMEX credited back the full $200, clock work......

I tried both $55 and $50 (desktop site) in separate transactions. Mine are showing up as passenger tickets (LAX -> LAX) in Amex's portal, they're even receiving the 5x points for airfare.

Seems like they caught on...
