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.

I've read reports stating that people were able to use the 3 FN at Edition NYC.
Does anyone know if it can be used at Edition Miami as well? I managed to secure to 3-nights booking but I'm worried that I might face problems during check in

I got the card about 1.5 years ago (2 free night bonus) and used one at the Edition NYC just fine. Did the TOC change to not allow them?

Travel credit - which gift cards can I use?
I am looking to max out the travel credit and understand that this card is more difficult than others to get the credit as you can't buy flights and certain gift cards.
Is there a list of actual gift cards and airline ticket charges that we can utilize for the RC travel credit?

After approval but before putting any substantial spend on it.
Something like "Someone told me they got 3 free nights as the sign up bonus - is there anyway I can get that?"
No, it's a new application (although I did receive the 140k bonus a bit over two years ago).

I have had the RCR Card for a year now & I received two free night certs that show up in my Marriot account as "RCR CARD 1 FREE NIGHT (TIER 1-4)"
I plan to use these nights in Octorber, but would like to cancel the card prior to paying the annual fee. If I cancel the card prior to my stay, will the certs no longer be valid?

$200 AA physical gift reimbursed 04/06 via SM. Claimed for overweight baggage fees on transpacific flight. Also had gogo wifi reimbursed one week prior so that may have helped my case.

So you admit and post you lied to Chase...well of course it got reimbursed, you were unethical and lied about what you purchased.
