so far, larger than $50 has not been reimbursed. this could change at any time, though.

Purchased 4 x $50 DL GC on desktop site using Amex Platinum.

Purchased 1/6 as one transaction.
Posted 1/7 as four transactions DELTA AIR LINES - ATLANTA
Credited 1/8 for all four.

$50 is the limit
price out the ticket as 2 one ways. usually prices out fairly close if not identical to the same price. example JFK to LAX as ticket one and LAX to JFK as ticket two. use 2 $50 gift cards on each purchase. round trip airfare purchased

sometimes this hobby does not allow for the easier process to function

The only way we would know is if someone made, say, a $100 purchase and reported the outcome. There isn't much motivation to attempt a larger transaction when the $50 amount has been known to work reliably for years.

I made a purchase of a Delta gift card on 7/23/17 for $135 that was not reimbursed. I subsequently purchasef 4 X $50 Delta cards that were reimbursed.

Now this is an odd one -- bought 2 tickets for TPA-BOS, non-stop, for 2 passengers on the Ameriprise Platinum. Should have come to ~$500 total.

Oddly, Delta sent it to Amex in 2 transactions. One for ~$300 and one for $205. The $300 showed the ticket as I would expect with the two cities clearly visible on the amex website, but the $205 registered as an "Additional collection" and triggered my $200 credit for 2018. This was a plain vanilla economy ticket.

On 1/7, I purchased 4X$50 Delta e-gift cards with my Amex MB Plat, and 2X$50 Delta GCs with my Amex PRG.
Today, 1/10, the full reimbursements posted. :)

I'm sure these Data Points get annoying, but I guess it can't hurt:

Bought 4x$50 in one transaction on 1/5, posted reimbursement for all of them on 1/7 :)

Thanks all. And yup, as my posted indicated I'm well aware that buying two one-ways on many routes prices out the same as a round-trip. Unfortunately that'd still leave me with $100 in credits to burn! :p Eh, I'll figure something out.

You can use 3x GCs/ticket right? You mentioned both yourself and your spouse. Are both of you flying on the round-trip on which you want to use the credit? If so, it seems like booking separate tickets should do the trick. For example: ticket 1 = you, outbound (use 3x GCs); ticket 2 = your spouse, outbound (use 3 more GCs); ticket 3 = both of you, inbound (use the remaining 2 GCs.)

After booking, you should be able to call Delta and link the 2 outbound reservations, if you want.

If you don't want to book separate reservations or if your spouse is not traveling on that trip, you could use 6 GCs ($300) as described before and then send the other 2x $50 GCs to me. I'll happily use them for you. :P

How does DL refund a fully refundable ticket when eGift Certs are part of the payment?

Do you get 3 certs back or one with $150 value?

If it is $150 value, may be this is a process one could consolidate the $50 certs into more meaningful amount so easier to use them up?

THIS post may be helpful.

Thanks mia. you are always very resourceful. So it is a no go, the funds go back to the original forms of payment to the exact amount.

Bought 4 $50 ecerts on 12/30, and they posted 12/30. No credits as of today.

With the assumption that the Ameriprise is a typo, this is indeed very interesting. So, $200 of your $500 ticket price was deducted from your Amex Plat airline credit? That is a game changer.

Would you please post if that is ever rectified.

Question for the wider forum:
Has the airline credit worked when paying fees associated with award redemption?
