BREAKING NEWS - Data Point:
The above transaction I completed on July 1st, posted today (July 6), as an Airline Reimbursement for $100.52. So, partial payments work. There is hope!
Edit:. This was on a AMEX Platinum card. The credit card transaction originally posted as Delta Airlines Atlanta "additional collection" under document type.

I am now wondering whether it has to be around $200 left over or whether any residual balance left over will do the trick. I.e. if I buy a $400 and use $100, leaving $300, does that work? Or, should I buy a $200 GC to leave $200 behind.

I had this work for me a week ago; I applied one $50 GC against a $274 airfare, leaving $224, which triggered the full $200.

I have $99.48 allotment left for this year and plan to use it to purchase two (2) emergency row seats and two beers

Must part of the payment be made with a gift card, or could the payment be split between two credit cards, using the American Express card second?

IIRC upthread posts said DL billed the balance after GC using different description (or even payment code) that AMEX system recognizes it as miscellaneous expenses other than tickets. Not sure if split between CCs would generate the same description.

Delta also has "Miles + Cash" as another option for split payments. It's usually a poor value though.

That is a very interesting question! If I hadn't already used my 2019 allotment, I would have given that a shot because I have a ticket to buy today. It isn't clear to me how it would code; perhaps putting <50% would work?

Bought two $50 GC using links mentioned in thread using AMEX GOLD on 1st Jul, the credits have not yet posted. How long does it takes usually?

it’s currently been dead From what I understand.
mixed reports and data points rolling in. Only time will tell if it’s dead or not.
it’s more then a coincidence IMO that all 3 GC work arounds stopped working around the same time.

I noticed Delta offers you the option of buying Internet in advance when you book a ticket. I wonder if anyone has tried: booking a ticket, later logging in to purchase in-flight WiFi from Delta (rather than waiting until you’re on the flight and buying it from Gogo which we know doesn’t trigger the credit)?
