I think the bonus ended, but the page to add funds (without bonus) is here:

https://www.united.com/offers/travelcash

Yea I logged in through that link and just bought the $250 to just make use of my $200 credit, i didnt get the bonus.

Didn't see this in the last 2 pages - what's the expiration policy for TravelBank funded by Amex card? I'm confused between 18 months vs 5 years.

The longer expiration period was part of the "terms of a particular offer" which has ended. The offer had nothing to do with the method of payment.

Is this for purchasing the United travel bank? Also how long did it take you to get reimbursed?

Did this twice now--each for $100. I was reimbursed about 2 days after the transaction fully posted.

The thread discusses various United expenses which may be reimbursed. The TravelBank was closed for a few years, and reopened with a promotional offer which has ended. Scroll back to post 165 and read forward. TravelBank purchases are not reimbursable under the terms of the American Express benefit. The way that UA codes the purchases causes American Express' software to mistake them for fees. This could end at any time. There will be no advance notice or recourse.

UA Travel Bank Ressurected
 

After waiting two years, I was able to fund my UA Travel Bank with $250 using my Amex Platinum Card. The credit appeared immediately and the expiration date is 2025.

I will post if and when Amex credits me with my UA Airline Fee Reimbursement.

AMEX Gold: Travel Bank purchase of $100 on October 16 and reimbursement credited on the 18th.
AMEX Plat: Travel Bank purchase of 2@$100 transactions on October 19 and reimbursement for both credited on the 22nd.

Nice to see this "feature" back on United and utilize for future flight credit.

I know I broke a cardinal rule by doing this, but I forgot to choose United before adding $100 to my TravelBank account yesterday. I'm trying to use the incidental credit for my Amex Gold card. I just chose United on the Amex site and the TravelBank charge still shows as pending. Is there any chance this eventually gets credited by Amex since by the time the charge clears it will show I signed up for United as my airline? Or did I eff up by doing it out of order?

just an update.. on the United app, yes, there is an option to purchase PRIORITY BOARDING for $15 or $19 (depends on the flight and route). First time flying since pandemic...i purchased it ...only to realize it is useless.....there is no priority boarding...they board from the Back of the plane first...so makes no difference what 'group' number you are - lol. I got the Fee reimbursement anyway... from amex... also called united and asked for my money back since i was not allowed to use it. - once i get that refunded, i will tell amex to reverse my fee reimbursement... dont want to double dip.. but for the future, priority boarding fee is reimbursable .

Amex Credit for UA Travel Bank Purchase
 

Amex Credited my account for +/- $162 two days after I purchased a $250 UA Travel Bank credit. The credit was about 48 hours after the purchase. I think I previously received +/- $38 in Amex Airline Fee Credits for the fees/taxes related to an International UA Mileage Plus Award Ticket purchased in January on LH.

I did this recently for my amex platinum regular, schwab, and hilton aspire. They credited me the money, however looking at my benefits page, the meter was saying I used all my airline credit, and now it says to select a new airline, Has anyone experienced this or know whys this happening, or is this an error on them?

i thought you are only allowed to pick a new airline at the beginning of each year?

Amex lets you change your airline during the year if its not used via chat or call.
