I used mine for upgrades from economy to business. The fine print said it wouldn’t work, but I got the credit on Amex.

Buy a delta gift card to pay for a portion of the flight and then charge the remainder (less than a $100) on your Amex.

Gift cards used to work but I don’t think it does now

Checked bags but you prob don’t check bags lol

Gift cards and fares don't qualify for the credit.

Guests in the skylounge or a cash upgrade to first are your best bet.

was about to ask if I could use it to upgrade!!

Do they always expire at the end of the year?

Yes. Amex works on a calendar year basis with these credits.

Flights are paid by company/WBS, no options there
