Can anyone confirm recent success buying AA gift cards and getting them reimbursed with the Amex platinum? For the $200 “incidental charges” credit

Yes, just did it. Broke it up into 4 different transactions of $50 each

Awesome thank you!

The Amex Platinum has an annual $200 airline credit that is only supposed to apply to incidentals such as checked bags, in-flight interner, etc. However, some (but not all) airline gift card purchases will also trigger it. Effectively, I bought $200 worth of AA gift cards on my Amex Platinum which triggered the $200 credit from Amex, meaning those giff cards were free

Yes. I did the same thing a few months back with Delta, 4X $50 gift cards.

Can you explain what this all means? Did you just profit $200?

can you do it for delta gift card too?

Does this all work out? Like is the value of the points actually worth more the CSP?

C2, in my opinion the Amex Platinum is not a better card if that's what you mean - I think the CSR is a better card, tho I have both in my wallet

Has anyone done it in $100 increments and see it work?
