However, later the same day I also requested the credit by Secure Message (for "baggage fees) and it was approved. Very YMMV now but still doable. 2/10/2017
Southwest Airlines GCs work fairly easily. I've generally bought them for $150 and said they're excess baggage fees.

RC: executive phone line, much better than CSR and general Chase service. $450 AF for $300 and $150 for a free night for 50,000 points. Best Priority Pass access. And more.
CSR: $300 general travel. Goof if you use food delivery and ride share. So $250 for all the "benefits" and the ability to transfer to partners. A lot of competitors like CSP, CIP, AmEx Gold, AmEx Plat etc.
