Not sure what OW means about taxes and such on an award ticket. Those would not be reimbursed. But you can usually buy two $50 gift cards and, assuming they are processed the right way, they will get credited. There are forums online where you can read about others' success with that

The latter. You can sometimes get away with gift cards.

Charge has to be less than like $50. So you might get credit for the ~$10 taxes on an award ticket or a gift card as EY1 says, but otherwise no.

Wait we can buy gift cards with it ?

Awesome ! I ll buy gift cards !

Make sure you declare your airline first

There's a site to do it. If you don't, you won't get the credit

Which site and how do I buy the gift cards

1. Google it and look around. Some Amex site. 2. Go to airline site. Buy gift cards. Note that some airlines (e.g., JetBlue) do not sell them

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
