Searching the thread for "award" would show that, in practice, recent experience is that the full amount of taxes and fees gets reimbursed on an award ticket, so there's no need to split payment with a gift card.

This is one of only numerous drawbacks in trying to squeeze value from the airline credit. Everyone will have to pick their poison...

One nice feature is $200 airline credit is applicable per calendar year so I signed up in Sept 19' so I get $200 in 2019 and resets Jan 1 2020.

That only helps your first year though.

So reading the thread here - it appears if I pay $110 or so to 'seat selection' upgrade my already booked C+ award ticket to F - I should get that credited back?

Yes - its based on calendar year so $200 credit Jan 1 2019 or if you sign up late like me Sept 2019 I get $20 in 2019 and resets for on Jan 1, 2020..
For a card opened in Sept 2019, you get: - 1 credit for 9/2019-12/2019 - 1 credit for 1/2020-12/2020 - 1 credit for 1/2021-12/2021 - 1 credit for 1/2022-12/2022 - etc. So the only "statement year" in which you get two credits is your first one - after that you just get a new credit on Jan 1 every year. That's what the previous poster meant when they said "it only helps your first year". |

Correct, but then it does not reset again until Jan 1, 2021.

I have a ticket to buy that costs over $600. Will I get reimbursed if I pay by a $200 gift card and charge the rest to Amex? Thanks!

I'm going to try to make a roughly $1100 purchase using $900 in GCs/eGCs - is there any consensus on whether it matters if you use a physical Gift Card or an e-GC yet? I still need to purchase my GC or eGC and I'm trying to figure out if it matters which I use. Everyone has been using the shorthand GC for everything but I don't know if that's just typing convenience or if everyone has been using true GCs.
