The OP would presumably go through AmEx PTS, not regular AmEx travel (unless AmEx is the corporate travel agent). They're very different, although I admit that PTS isn't nearly as good as it once was.

If you have a personal Platinum card the you will earn the 4 points per dollar bonus (5 points total) if booking directly with Delta. However, if you have Business Platinum you must book through Amex Travel which is operated by Orbitz, and not the same as Platinum Travel Service.

5x bonus for egencia?
Any data points about this occurring with tickets booked through Egencia (Expedia powered)?
Charge came through similar to the Concur screenshot above - with the "title" of the charge as Egencia but DBA Delta and the flight info as if I'd booked on DL.com.
If nobody else has encountered it, I'll keep an eye on how the points post next month and try to remember to return here with a DP.

Did the Amex 5x bonus points post for Egencia for the Air Tickets?
Also, if you have purchased a hotel through Egencia, did any 5x bonus points for Hotel also post?
I do a lot of work travel and have to book on Egencia. So this fact will decide whether i sign up for this card or not.
Thanks

I imagine that, for the most part, it'd only be an issue in a business context where the same card is used to book travel for multiple/many team members, that sort of situation.
