They can but you can't use a credit card benefit to get it credited back. The fees need to be paid to LH.

Which is to say your scheme would work, except that LH isn't one of the carriers covered by the benefit. And booking it under a UA codeshare doesn't help since LH is still the operating carrier.

Thank you findark and oliver2002 for your responds. You are both correct.
I went through Amex "Terms and conditions" and it clearly states the following:
"Fees not charged by the Card Member's airline of choice (e.g. wireless internet and fees incurred with airline alliance partners) do not qualify for statement credits."
Thank you very much

Dear All,
As I asked, I traveled by LH (international travel) and after a few days, found the boarding pass missing. I need to submit boarding pass (and not flying statement from LH, which is available) to claim the amount. Is there anyway, one can retrieve boarding pass of a past international LH flight? I would request anyone who knows anything about it to inform me. I look forward to your help.
Thank you so much. With regards, Paresh

Travelclass is no longer needed. Besides that, you're right. Actually the new retro credit system works well (even for other *A carriers)

I tried credit some EDW Flights: Didn’t manage to get it to work yet. (used to be an instantaneous retro credit...). I guess I’ll wait a week and then try again.

It doesnt need the booking class (Y/C/..) but travel class (like "Economy").

and yes. Meant booking class. Obviously travel class should be known but booking class often isn’t for the average traveller. So that’s actually an improvement.
now if we could get GVA To actually use LH SENNumber instead of LX (which still doesn’t work) I wouldn’t even have to retro credit that often anymore...

In his first post, Paresh mentioned the following: "However, I need to submit the original boarding passes to get some reimbursement".
So i guess he needs the boarding pass for travel expenses. @Paresh: How did you get the boarding pass in the first place? At the counter, or did you do online checkin?
If at the counter, i'm not aware of any way to get the boarding pass again. With online check in, it would depend how you retrieved the boarding pass, i.e. if you have a link in an SMS, or Email or similar.

EDW isn’t a star alliance carrier

Edit: I've just now checked the website and somewhere in a corner it says your mileage request was denied for the flights have already been credited. It then lists the two dates of my flights to RAK, but not the ones I entered for April, but the ones in March where I also had some flights to RAK (that were credited automatically)??? What the actual what? That wasn't even the same ticket number!
