Data Points on automatically reimbursed incidentals since 2017:

Admirals Club Memberships: Admirals Club Passes: Admirals Club Food/Drinks: Award Cancellation Fee*: Award Taxes/Fees: Baggage*: Change Fee*: Close-In Ticket Fee*: Elite 500-mile Stickers: Elite Challenges: Elite Status Buyback: External Reservation Fee: Five Star Service: Gift Cards:
  • No
Infant Fees: MCE/Seat Selection: Mileage Multipler: Miles Purchase from AA.com: Monthly AA Wifi Subscription Plan: Pet Fee*: Same Day Flight Change: Upfares: Upgrades:
Wifi is provided by one of three third-party providers and is thus not eligible for the incidental credit. Monthly Wifi subscription plans through AA appear to be eligible for automatic credit.

* For items not automatically reimbursed but which are not excluded by Amex, you can try and request manual reimbursement from American Express; however, you may need to wait 14-28 days first.

NOT WORKING: Partial payment by gift card or voucher combined with partial payment by Amex doesn't work. Full payment of a ticket under $100 stopped working sometime in 2020.

It's the start of a new year, and it's time for a new thread. I am looking forward to more discussion about AA reimbursements in 2022!

Happy New Year Everyone.

As promised, reporting back on my transactions in the original thread.

12/29/2021 $97 for Mileage Multiplier on GC. $211.00 on Platinum for Seat Selection on an International flight coming up.
Both were credited after midnight 12/31-01/01.

Now that I see some are having success getting Cabin Class upgrades as well may try that too with the 2022 Credit(s).

Thanks for the info everyone.

If you have to use mileage multiplier to buy miles at 3cpm, please try not to think that some people recently bought 10 million miles at 0.4cpm, while you did not have the chance. And that will cause soon mile devaluation. Please. It is not good for your inner peace.

I am not sure if they will need to do that; with dynamic pricing, they can raise the number of miles at will and keep them there. Or lower them if there is little demand on a route. From an airline POV it is smart.

Bought $200 worth of 500-mile upgrades on Jan 4th.

Credited back $200 on Jan 8th.

Still good.

After I discovered the UA travel bank I am gone, all the AA options are just a ripoff, with the only exception of an upgrade.

Agreed. I got stuck buying 3 lounge day passes on the 29th just to make sure the whole 200 didn't go to waste. Looking to switch my airline choice now.

I dunno, the monthly AA wiifi pass seems like a good use to me (what I use it for).

If you are still a regular flier, yes, some things will work better…

How often can you switch your airline affiliation?

i.e. Can you switch from AA to UA, use your $200 airline credit, wait a month, switch back to AA?

Once per year, in January. After that, if you have not used any of the credit, customer service will typically allow another change, but it is an exception to the published terms.

Looking to upgrade to first class on a domestic flight...any recent data points regarding the Amex fee credit covering this upgrade? Or am I better off buying MCE seats?

Did 2 AAdvantage award flight purchases where the taxes were roughly $75 per ticket ($75.37 shown twice). Neither has been reimbursed.
