What should I do with the $200 Amex plat incidental airline credit before year end? Done traveling for the year. Would really appreciate your input!

@Ac1 you sound like an ass, and it can’t be used for purchasing tickets

Gift cards. Do 2 in $109 increments. Repeat next calendar year. Spend said gift cards on vacation

Is this a voucher / credit for a flight delay that you have to use before the end of the year?

Well , you have to find a person so that you can buy with the credit card, get 200 discount and give the cash. I have to buy a ticket soon and I can give 100 in return for the hassle to use your card. ( total ticket cost —200 + 100)

Does AMEX recognize airline lounge memberships as a valid use of that? Most are in the $400-500 range but that might be a way to knock that down if they count that as valid

Anyone tried gift card for incidental credit? How does gift card come in statement?

🍿

Might want to confirm the gift card purchase method. I believe it's not applicable in some states (e.g., NJ) since I looked into it last year

I do gift cards every year. Keep them in small amounts like 50 or less. Never had a problem. 3+ years now

Have done gift cards every year since 2013

Delta gift cards in increments of 50

Second on Delta e-gift cards of $50 increments. I just did it this past week and got my credit a couple days later

Thank you!!! Do you do it on the same day of flights?

Or have you bought a gift alone on a certain day?

Gift cards no more than $50 per charge.

Buy whenever. Just make sure to do a week before end of calendar year or else credit may count for next year

Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
