12/27, 5 minutes after approval - Chatted with an AMEX rep to make Southwest my airline choice.
12/27, 15 minutes after chatting - Received e-mail confirming Southwest as my airline choice.
12/27, 15 minutes after receiving e-mail - Booked 3 separate one-way 'dummy' flights for $93.98 on Southwest's website, logged into my rapid rewards account.. I planned on waiting until after the 24 hour period to cancel the flights since we'll use Southwest credit sometime in 2020 anyway.
12/30 - AMEX credits post for $93.98, $93.98 and $62.04. No 'meter' movement prior to credits posting. Card is showing $31.94 balance.

($49 × 3 and $54= $200.92)
This will be on my to do list for Jan. 2nd- not going to risk delays of maybe doing it today- the 1st- and waiting too late in the months for maybe this "reimbursement" being fixed in system later in 2020.

Amex plat Card Approval: 12/25
Chose Airline 12/28:
Bought tickets like 20 minutes after on 12/28 - 93$ and 91$
Credit posted 12/28
Today 1/1, I still see no reimbursement and my meter still says I have $200 to spend, Anyone think I'll still get reimbursed?

I've tried searching, but are there any DP's for whether you get to keep the credit if you request a refund?

unless you have immediate need for WN TF and fly often, i dont understand the people rushing to buy <$100 fares in the new year. amex may close the loophole soon and thats a valid concern, but that also means your WN TF will expire at the end of 2020. and judging from all these last minute posters, there are plenty here who already have TF from only a few days/weeks ago which would also expire at the end of 2020. so now you have double the amount to spend with PAX restrictions. im gonna take my chances and wait. i hate expiring credits.
what are you asking? book a flight then cancel within 24hrs to get the amex credit AND the refund back to the amex CC like a few prior DP were suggesting? the bottom line is that amex RAT dont play games. that should have been clear the past few months.
