Following.

I use it to buy meals in flight rather than at the airport. We get per diem tho so it’s money in my pocket.

I fly Delta. Although amex got rid of the gift card loophole, if you pay for a fare using split tender (gift card then credit card), as long as the remaining fare is less than $250, the credit will apply

??? What are the steps to this??

I just buy WIFI and then expense it so I can double dip.

If it's "sold" by the airline, it's covered. If it's sold by a third party, it isn't

Other people in this group have recommended using the credit for the lounge. I use it for checked bags when traveling on personal vacation

I fly united and it recently worked for a paid upgrade to first. Was only $139 but better than losing the $200

It shouldn’t have worked for that so consider yourself lucky

Honestly, we use it for an airline we aren’t statused on— so it covers checked bags etc if we have to fly a different carrier for whatever reason...
