Update, 12/29: Don’t forget to finish using up your 2022 airline fee credits on cards like AMEX Platinum, Hilton Aspire AMEX, and the Ritz Carlton card!
Update, 12/12: I recently tested JetBlue tickets under $99 (which can be converted to TravelBank funds good for 1 year after conversion) and United TravelBank funding (good for 5 years), and they credited back automatically. Those are great options for this credit. Southwest tickets under $109 are also typically credited automatically and that can now be converted into funds that never expire!
You can always chat with AMEX to change your registered airline. Don’t let any of your your 2022 credit go to waste!
If you want to apply for a new AMEX Consumer Platinum card or AMEX Business Platinum Card, now is the best time to do so as you can triple dip on the annual benefits. With a new card opened now, you can get 2022, 2023, and 2024 airline credits (and credits such as Saks, Dell, Uber, wireless, Walmart+, digital entertainment, CLEAR, PreCheck, Equinox, Adobe, Indeed, and more) before your 2nd annual fee is due in January 2024! You can read more about the consumer card here and about the business card here and compare both cards here.

Originally posted on 1/3/22:
There are 3 AMEX cards that give a credit to use for incidental fees on the airline of your choice.
- The AMEX Business Platinum Card offers a $200 annual airline fee credit. Read more about the card here.
- The AMEX Platinum Card offers a $200 annual airline fee credit. Read more about the card here.
- The AMEX Hilton Aspire Card offers a $250 annual airline fee credit. Read more about the card here.
While Chase Sapphire Reserve® allows you to use travel credit for anything travel related, AMEX is far more restrictive.
You need to register with a specific airline before spending. After you register for an airline you can officially only change your airline in January. However I have had success changing the airline by chatting with AMEX online.
You can choose to register for the following airlines:
- Alaska
- American
- Delta
- Frontier
- Hawaiian
- JetBlue
- Southwest
- Spirit
- United
Note that if you have a Business Platinum card, the airline you choose will also be the airline that will give you 35% of your points back when redeeming for coach travel. You may want to hold off on spending the $200 until the end of the year if you want to be able to change the airline more easily during the year, though I have never been denied an airline change by chatting with AMEX online. You also get back 35% of your points on all airlines in business and first class redemptions without having to register for an airline.
- The United TravelBank is back after taking a short hiatus that burned some extreme procrastinators last year. These funds are valid to book United flights for anyone for 5 years from the date of purchase. I made a $100 purchase in 2022 and was reimbursed for the purchase.
- With this option you’ll have to weigh whether to do this earlier in the year, when you know it’s available and working or whether to wait to see if you’ll have actual airline fees to pay this year. It can also be worth waiting for a TravelBank funding promotion or to get a longer expiration date on the funds. Then again the option isn’t officially covered as an airline fee, so it can stop working at any time. In 2021 it stopped working for a couple of months, before becoming eligible again.
- TravelBank funds can be used to book travel on United.com for anyone.
- JetBlue tickets under around $99 have long worked for credit. Last year I registered a card for JetBlue and bought a ticket from JFK to Los Angeles for $98.40. It was reimbursed with the airline fee credit in just 2 days:
After purchasing a flight, it is easy to cancel it, even in basic economy, and convert it into JetBlue Travel Bank funds. With JetBlue, those funds are valid for 1 year from the date of redeposit and funds can be used for anyone. In basic economy you’ll have to cancel within 24 hours of the purchase and you’ll need to have purchased the flight for more than 7 days from now. For other tickets, you can cancel and convert into Travel Bank funds at any time before departure for free.
I tested that again during the JetBlue free change bonanza and got reimbursed for the flights.
- Southwest tickets under $109 are also typically reimbursed. You can cancel the ticket and use those funds without any expiration date!
These are the charges that have been reported to count for airline fee credit:
- Airline tickets under around $99 are sometimes reimbursed. JetBlue and Southwest should work best. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- Delta tickets purchased with partial payment on your credit card and partial payment on an airline voucher or gift card are typically reimbursed. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- Taxes on award tickets are typically reimbursed. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- Award redeposit and change fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Baggage fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Buying extra miles or mileage multiplier offered with a ticket purchase online or at a kiosk. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- Flight change fees and same day change fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Food and drinks on the plane from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Food and drinks in a club from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Lounge access, memberships, and club pass fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Phone reservation fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Pet fees. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Seat selection fees and Economy Plus/Main Cabin Extra fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Standby fees from airline of your choice. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- AA 500 mile upgrades. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- AA Five Star Service. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- AA WiFi monthly plan. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- $9 Spirit Fare Club Membership. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- Frontier Discount Den. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- United Economy Plus upgrades and Economy Plus Subscriptions. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- United Farelock. This is officially covered as an airline fee.
- United WiFi Subscription Purchases And Gifts. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- United WiFi on mainline planes only or any other WiFi billed by the airline and not a 3rd party. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
- United WiFi day pass on any United flight.
- United TravelBank funding. This is not officially covered as an airline fee.
It’s worth noting that upgrades to another cabin is not officially covered as an airline fee. However you can chatting with AMEX 14 days after a charge to request reimbursement for it or any other charge. YMMV on the rep crediting your account for it, but that has worked for me in the past.
What airline fees have you been credited for on your AMEX card in 2022?

I’ve been buying AA upgrade certs, but I have some many, it’s time to change to something else. The United Travel Bank sounds promising. Looking forward to seeing some datapoints.
What kind of upgrade certs?
They are referring to 500-mile “stickers” that AA elites use to upgrade 500+ mile domestic flights.
Booked a flight on AA using miles and paid for seats with the amex
Got the credits for seat selection fees
I plan to wait a while to cancel the flight and hope they dont claw back the credits
They can claw back years later or after the card is closed. YMMV.
They could claw back united bank too, can’t they?
They can do whatever they want, but I’ve never seen reports of a clawback for a non-qualifying fee. But I have for refunded items.
how would you know years later if they clawed it back and then you already closed the card and it is hidden from your profile and then you don’t get an email etc your credit score can get shot from that
They will mail you a statement.
It’s time to come up with a way how to get the $200 hotel credits, any ideas?
United worked @ $100 eack
Did you make the United travelbank purchase in 2022? Thank you
They only began 2022 sales today.
Thanks Dan
United travel bank on one card, and Jetblue flights under $150 have always worked for me on my other card. (DP – did both of these 12/28 and was credited in days)
Now we need tricks for the hotel credit as someone else mentioned – hard to find anything in a nice city or vacation spot for under $400/night.
Las Vegas has plenty of $200 options. Also, the best chinese food around at Kosher Chinglish.
Thank you for suggesting this. Found multiple hotels under $200 in Vegas. Any other cities that you have seen that would work for under $200? Thank you Dan!
Just beware of the resort fees. I looked into some of the AMEX listed hotels and they had resort fees around 50 or more a night.
I tried using it on a $99 southwest ticket in 2021 and only got reimbursed about $2.
Only way that makes any sense is if you previously reimbursed 2 $99 tickets in 2021.
If they reimbursed anything that means it works. If they gave partial reimbursement it means that’s all you had left of the credit that year- you had probably already done 2×$99 that would leave exactly $2 🙂
I thought they were reimbursing for some fees, but you guys were right, when I went back to look, I had already used my credits earlier in the year. Woops.
Are card-holder charges eligible?
New data point: I booked a JetBlue ticket for $99.40 last week and was credited.
https://imgur.com/a/6Avi3I6
Not major news but wanted to comment on the “JetBlue tickets under around $99”
Nice, now we need some data points above $100 🙂
Dan, we booked two flights at 132.40 each, they reimbursed the 1st one as 132.40 and the 2nd as 67.60 basically using up the full $200 credit. Thanks again for keeping this all going!
Did united travel bank on 12/27 and still waiting..
You may have selected the airline and used right away. I would have waited 24hrs and then used it on United travel bank. You can try your luck with Amex they can fix it for you if they’re in a nice mood.
Same here, did it on the 25th and still waiting
Is there a way to combine credits from multiple cards for a delta upgrade
Dan, waiting to hear if you get credited for United travelbank.
Thanks
Did anyone get a United travel bank credit in 2022
It’s too soon.
Did you receive your credit(s) for your 2022 Travel Bank purchases yet?
I did. Purchase 1/3/22 and my airline credit says it’s been used as of 1/6/2022. The credit has not posted yet but I assume this will occur 1/7/22 or 1/8/22
Just added $250 to United Travel Bank. Will I receive $200 airline credit using Amex platinum, or did I need t to do $100 x 2.
My United travel bank deposit for 2022 was labeled as ticket by Amex with a ticket number so will not be getting credit.
Looks like 🙁
Mine worked, give it about a week and it should post. Purchased united travel bank as well. Purchased 1/3/22 and my airline credit says it’s been used as of 1/6/2022. The credit has not posted yet but I assume this will occur 1/7/22 or 1/8/22
For 2021 gold card (charged Dec. 31, I did united pet)
Got the credit.
I bought two $100 Travelbank purchases on Jan 3, just got reimbursed for both on Jan 8
**UPDATE***
Just got my travel bank credit worked with United!
“I was reimbursed… for a $99 JetBlue ticket… which I then deposited into my JetBlue Travel Bank.”
!! Should’ve used it for for a more expensive flight, this past Sunday.
Lol.
I did 😀
I paid $100 towards a Delta Vacations booking and was reimbursed.
For context, I made a partial deposit when I made my reservation several months ago. I paid $100 with Amex Platinum a few days ago and had that reimbursed. (Full payment is due 1 month prior to travel.)
DP:
Alaska ticket in December 2021 for $99 did not get credit
Does $250 travel bank trigger for aspire?
I think I remember someone saying only $100 at a time works?
I just got reimbursed the full $250 for Aspire
$250 has worked for me in the past, although you can always do two $100 and another $50 in separate transactions…
You can purchase more than one year of the Spirit $9 club to help max out the benefit across multiple years for $130’ish for 2 years (24 months).
I was still not reimbursed from United for 2 December 26 travelbank purchases…
If I purchase JetBlue mint ticket thru ultimate rewards and cancel after after 24 hours, will I get refunded to JetBlue travel bank ?
Yes.
@dan if I purchase tickets using travel bank as a payment but have a United explorer card can I still book basic economy and still get free luggage etc.?
Wondering something similar…. if I pay half of my ticket with my TravelBank and the other half with the United Quest card will I still get free luggage?
Couldn’t find this answer anywhere.
Yes, any amount on a card will trigger the benefits.
Used 400,000 Amex points for a trip that was cancelled. Got reimbursed credit in dollars to my card. Should I convert back to points or leave it as cash?
I just received credit for both Amex Plat and Aspire card for United travel bank even with them being labeled tickets. They were in $100 and $250 deposit amounts.
I was still not reimbursed for 2 $100 United travelbank purchases on Dec 30th, any idea?
When did you register for United?
Did you get credit earlier in 2021?
registered on that day
opened the card same day
Will delta gift cards of $50 get the credit??
No, but ticket purchases made with partial gift card and partial Platinum card charge typically work.
data point – TravelBank credit for purchase posted $100 today for it made purchase about 2-3 days ago.
Anyone know if southwest tickets that are $150/160 still work?or only if it’s right around $100
Did anyone getreimbursed for Spirit tickets?
Hi Dan,
and Anyone:
Do you also get “payment failed” when trying to buy United Travel Bank? I re-entered cc number, exp. date and 4 digits ccv of my amex card many times and make sure it’s correct, but it still keeps giving me payment error message.
I’m also getting that today. I was able to purchase last week but today it’s not working. Thought it was my card. Now I think it’s United.
Okay just read on doc that the workaround is to add the card to your United wallet as a payment method. It worked for me.
Saw this issue on another forum. Go to go to the regular united website–>”view my united”–>”wallet”, then save the credit cards there before checking out on travel bank. Having them pre-saved is the only way I could get the payments to go through, typing them in would not work.
You have to add your credit card first to the United.com site as a payment method. Then select the amount, select the card on file, and then click purchase.
I think you’re right… I have 2 Amex Platinum Business cards and tried both multiple times in multiple browsers (Chrome and Firefox) and neither worked… I even tried incognito and both $50 and $100 and they both said “Payment Failed” as well.
What’s a bummer is that I used both cards in 12/2021 and they both worked and were credited back within days. Hope the loophole isn’t closed…
Yes I tried $100 on Jan 9 and got the credit yesterday jan 14 but today when I tried to buy the 2nd $100 on Jan 14
, also getting payment failed error
United Travelbank $100 purchase worked for me. Purchased 9 Jan, coded as United Airlines Houston TX, reimbursed 12 Jan.
New purchases are coding as United Electronic Ticketing but I believe this has happened before and still worked.
Did the united travel bank last week and the travel credit fee both posted
keep trying united – saying payment failed-try again. i thought it might be my platinum card but its not. i tried the united app and on a pc.
Same issue
Try adding the card to your United Wallet first and then try buying it again.
https://www.united.com/en/us/account/payments
Worked. Thanks
@DAN maybe update the post with this detail
worked, thanks!
for the united credit can i just charge straight up $200 or 4250 for hilton card or does it need to be in $100 increments ?
250 works.
ill try that thanks! i saw on your last page about this topic people commenting as of jan 3 2022 that they tried buying and it didnt trigger. something about it saying united houston? hope this works. i did yesterday $100 on my plat to see how that goes.
Works fine, just took a little while.
do you have to make the purchase on separate days? or can i just buy 2 100 on the same day?
Didn’t get credit for travel bank for 2021. Purchase posted on 12/24, but still not credit
Select an airline
just tried my 2nd $100 .. will provide data point when hopefully credited, 1st worked about 10 days ago. Can you use TB funds on hotel/vacation packages at united too?
Doing one by one, three (2 bus and a consumer) so far, 2 left (aspire and consumer). As of 01/22 reimbursement is working, including $250 purchases.
workaround method worked! Thank you
does authorize user get travel credit?
my authorized user used credit card to purchase ticket and amex reimbursed the charges
United travel bank works! Placed two orders on 1/21 and 1/23, credits posted 1/23 and 1/25! It will show up on the benefits page as you’ve used your airline credit first, then the credits will post on your statement 1-2 days after.
I booked a $33 flight with spirit and i got reimbursed
united did $50 x2 on 1/22 got reimbursed on 1/26
Has anyone successfully purchased United TravelBank since Tuesday, 1/25? I’ve received the “Fail payment” error message even though I did the Workaround method by adding my credit card to the United Wallet. Thanks.
Purchased 2×100 on mine and my wife’s Plat and 250 on my aspire on 25 Jan recieved credit today 29 Jan.
Paid for premium select $499 upgrade on delta. chatted about 2 weeks later asked if changing the airline right before making the transaction would affect the credit was answered that it can take 24-48 hours to change asked for a manual credit posted the next day
I did United travel Bank on my credit card through United wallet two weeks ago and it worked perfectly fine. Today I tried doing it for my wife’s credit card through United wallet and it didn’t go through so I try to without United wallet and it also can you go through is it dead?
Data point – Did united travel bank through amex plat and aspire in 100 increments. Got the credit 4 days after
Is it still working? New data points ? TIA
any updates on travel credit?
Same as before.
meaning, united travel bank will still work?
Yes
TravelBank still working as of today – my credits from 4/8 just posted.
Still working for personal?
Did anyone get an Amex plat credit for travelbank in May 22.
Yes
charged united travel bank to my platinum on may 19 2022 and got the travel credit on the 24th
Getting it in June ?
Thx
Aspire worked…charged 24 June, refunded 27 June. $250
does anyone know if there’s a way to use the credit with Delta? such as gift cards, vouchers, basically would like to use it towards a Delta flight
Any update Aug for United TB?
I got a ticket number when using aspire on Untied travel bank probably no refund
still working for southwest tickets?
FYI – My annual airline credit is for UA and today they told me that my charge for $100 a few days ago (for UA Travel Bank) is coded as a “Special Service Ticket ” and will NOT be covered by this card benefit.
My apologies. I am used to credit posting within a day or two. This took several days but Did post so it’s still working.
For JetBlue ticket refund, will it work if I purchase 2 tickets $61 each, but I pay in one charge? Or does it have to be separate charges?
Is UA travel bank reimbursement working?
Yes.
Can I use someone else’s platinum card to fund my account and he’ll still get credited? 2 different names still ok?
United travel bank $50 on October 29 paid with Hilton Aspire. Credit posted Nov 4.
added funds to united travel bank with platinum on nov 1 ..still no credit showing is this normal?
nm got it
glad to hear it as was starting to worry bec of delay
i got the credits 8 days after adding funds into travelbank. data point
still working as of today
thanks. was starting to worry bec of delay
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the credit with Delta?
Can I use someone else’s platinum card to fund my account and he’ll still get credited? 2 different names still ok?
Is united travel bank still an option for the AMEX airline credit?
Is united credit bank still an option for the Amex airline credit
i did it Nov 100 and it worked.. so i did again around nov 20 and the 2nd 100 still hasn’t posted..
@Dan
If buying united travel bank isn’t working, what would be a way of getting the $100.
Buy a cheap ticket. then upgrade the seat (which should trigger it right0? then cancel to travel bank? does that work?
I can’t fund my united travel bank. Does anyone have the same issue
Purchased December 5th. Still waiting for credit to post. Will update.
Credit posted December 12th. Still working.
while mine from nov 13 posted, nov 20 still didn”t i’m worried..
I opened the card last year on January 12. If my statement closes January 8, and I am billed the annual fee, can I use the card credits till the payment is due? Must I close the card on January 8? I would like to use my credits, but it takes a few days for the refunds to post.
You can use it.
You have 30 days from the billing date to close for a refund. Or you can always downgrade for a pro-rated refund.
What is considered the billing date? The date the statement closes or the date the charge is posted to the account?
My annual fee for the second year is due in a week can i first spend my global entry credit and then cancel?
Wondering the same
@Dan, I have had the Hilton Surpass card for over a year, and just upgraded to the Aspire. Can I downgrade within a year of the upgrade being that my account anniversary hasn’t changed with the upgrade?
Any tricks for $200 hotel credit?
Can I use the adobe credit for anything from adobe or is it strictly for what’s written?
Thanks
Confused: Cancelling a Jetblue basic ticket within 24 hours gets refunded in full by Jetblue back to the original form of payment (Amex Plat. CC) How will the airline credit be applied if the refund from JB is made back to the Amex card and not credited to the JB travel bank?
You can choose to credit it to TravelBank instead.
No option online.. Need to call in to apply to TB? https://imgur.com/a/bpgjYfx
Interesting, it let me do it last month.
Call or Twee them and let us know.
Phone agent processed cr to TB without issue and documented the record to reflect that I requested the CR to TB instead of original pymt method 🙂 Now I’ll wait a few days to see if Amex posts the travel credit
I made 2 $100 UA TB purchases at once, hope that’s not a problem
Does this work on chase sapphire reserve, or at leased for a double dip?
Is there a minimum jb tb purchase that will work? To use remaining $200 credit, will $5 work?
Any promotion for CLEAR?
Hi, thanks for all your posts. I have a few Amex Delta platinum companion certificates expiring Jan 31 and one Feb 28 and not allowed to travel in that timeframe as expecting. Wondering if you have any tips so they don’t all go to waste as wasn’t able to extend them even with drs notes but pretty much paid 4 x annual fees of 250 to get them
I have consumer platinum. Renews in February. If I decide to apply for the business card today, will i receive the card in time to use the $200 this year for the triple dip? Or is it likely too late to get approved and get it in the mail, or if they need to do more research like they sometimes do after applications?
You will get the card overnighted, so there’s still time.
Thanks, great. I’m tempted but doing the math personally the business one might be a wash normally. With the $695 annual fee my use case would be $200 off on airline and $400 on Dell purchases (limited need), which comes to about equal.
I don’t get anything out of the indeed or the Adobe, so maybe another hundred or so for the Verizon credit.
But the high annual fee might make this one a stretch to make sense. Then again triple dip I’m guessing the above changes the equation a lot for me and others if I’m understanding correctly? So it’s really 1200 dell and 600 airline credits for one annual fee??
You understand correctly. Plus Global Entry, $130 in wireless credits, and $567 in CLEAR credits.
Awesome. Great. Thanks. Is there a decent market to resell the Dell credits of I don’t have $1200 in need spread over next 13 months?
https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=101179.620
Thanks, You Rock! (appropriate in the season of Rock of Ages 🙂
wouldn’t it be $800 in dell credit?
You’re correct, $800 in Dell credit due to semi-annual timing.
Thanks both for the clarity/correction!
I used my United travel bank funds for a wifi subscription before the flight.
Dan help amex on chat wont change my airline from SW to United due to usage this year but I only have $42 and dont have any use for SW flights as I am not interested in paying more than $42. United travel bank would have been great but now what?
any creative ideas?
HUCA?
Or get Southwest credit.
yeah surprised with amex chat always was bale to change I am trying to for like third time this year is there a policy limit?
you mean try and find a SW ticket under $42 and cancel for credit?
hey Dan thanks I HUCAED by calling instead of chatting this time and success!!!
TYVM!
Nice!
Is there a time frame when to try to get the airline credit thru another airline, tried the united travel bank on December 13th and it still didn’t work….
Appreciate if anyone can help
Thanks in advance !
It takes 1-2 weeks for credit.
If shows as special ticket then I won’t get the credit, correct ?
Hi Dan, I’ve the 150K membership rewards offer on personal Platinum card but thought the annual fees were too steep. Though triple dripping sounds like a great deal but I already have a chase sapphire preferred card that I’m trying to maximise my points with United for travel, What do you suggest?
If you triple dip, it’s not steep at all.
pls explain triple dip. got consumer platnium around 12/13/22. purchased travel bank 12/22, will do again 2023 – when is next af due? Dec 2022? when do i buy third for 2024 and how does it work with year 2 AF? What NF can u downgrade card to?
I tripdipped last year on the personal Platinum, when exactly am i supposed to shut it? And what can I open to hold the points and be able to transfer when I need them
You have 30 days from when the annual fee posts to cancel for a refund.
You can open a no annual fee card like Blue Business Plus to keep your points alive and transferrable.
data pt. on this – When I called to cancel the Consumer Plat card early this year, they talked me into keeping with a nice credit granted (made more sense than downgrade to gold etc b/c uber eats credits are better on plat). 2 years ago practically waived the whole fee in the covid era peak times. So now have had Plat for 3 years almost, we’ll see what I do in Feb when it is time again. I assume if I take the biz platinum, I can transfer the points there too.
Yes, all the points are linked.
Cancelling within 30 das for a refund only works if you actually cancel the card. If you downgrade to another card they prorate what ever amount of time you are into the next year of your card membership.
Thanks Dan, totally forgot on one of my cards. Booked some JetBlue. How long before the credit hits? Have to be careful I saw JetBlue now has 24hr cancellation free no charge etc refund. What would happen if you cancel in 24 hours if the charge hit. Would amex pick up on that?
Can call to cancel for TB funds at anytime.
They can clawback if it’s refunded to your card.
Can take 1-2 weeks for the credit to post.
Yes, I will cancel for travel bank credit and hope credit hits. If not, more travel bank and take write off in 2022 I guess 🙂
Just received my Amex Platinum.
I chose United as the preferred partner and purchased $50 in the travel bank.
As long as I purchase $200 worth of UA Travel Bank by Dec 31st I’m good to purchase another $200 on January 1st right?
I’m burning through all the statement credits I’m eligible for by end of year (saks, hotels, airline etc.) so I can maximize the value and go round again in a few weeks (being the new year).
Am I on the mark with this?
Thanks y’all 🙂
hi den
seams i didt get any travel credit , 7 days ago tried with the UTB, 5 days later i see i got 5x points
meaning i probably not going to see a credit do you have any helpful ideas
Can take 2 weeks.
hi dan
still nothing wafting from Dec. 19 i got from sax and clear… but from this not any hopeful ideas
Hey Dan
If amex tagged my jetblue charge as airline ticket would it give me the 200 airline fee or I lost out !
can I buy United TB in less than $100 increments in multiple transactions or total around $200 in one transaction to get everything?
Is there any way to use the airline credit fee for a gift card or for a ticket that can get refunded to a gift card ? Trying to utilize the credit by something that can be transferred to anyone else
How do I speak to someone about reconsideration after getting declined for the consumer card? I tried calling the number but the machine only gives the option to write to them.
Is it too late to get the triple dip? I was told by chat that it will take 7 days to get the card? Also, Is the timing of receiving the card any different for the Hilton aspire?
They overnight the card, you can get it the day after applying.
How do you get them to overnight it? they said 7 days
Platinum cards are always overnighted.
What about the hilton aspire?
Not sure.
you can always call them to overnite it before 4 pm on any card
Because of this misleading post I am stuck with a no triple dip Platinum card for me and my wife. Due to holiday they are delayed with processing it. Got it today, probably too late to get anything to post by Saturday…
1. Plenty of time to order XBox gift cards that are good for anything sold on the Microsoft store.
2. Items from Dell ship faster than they quote and they’re charged before they ship out. Odds are good that most items will still charge your card by Saturday.
3. Even if you are charged next week, you can contact AMEX to have it corrected based on ordering today.
Same apply for UTB?
Airline charges can done through the 31st.
I have my Platinum credit with Delta. On motzash (6:30pm EST or so) I purchased seat changes for an upcoming flight. The charges were pending until today, and they posted them to Jan 1. I have been fighting tooth and nail with customer service for the past hour, and they say that the credit goes by when the charges are posted, not when the charges are incurred.

Originally selected Delta as an airline credit, used $5 from partial milage flight, just had a chat with them and had them chge my selected airline to jet blue, for the remainder $195.
Thx.
Purchased $100 in UTB on Amex Plat. Got refunded a few days later.
Interesting, I also purchased in UTB on Dec 12 and still didn’t get the refund.
Re AA – Without bothering to change preferred airlines For a not elite what is the best way to get an AA travel reimbursed
My latest united travel bank $100 purchases over a month ago never posted (1 on each of 2 cards)
Advice?
But more or switch airlines?
Each account previously posted $100 with utb just. A week before…
what about buying jetblue miles outright will that pass?
Worked on both JetBlue and United travel bank as of December 2022
I’m trying to cancel my JetBlue reservation and the only option was to refund to my Amex.
Where is there an option to get travel bank?
New website is awful.
Try DMing them on Twitter or calling them.
Need to wait more than 24 hours
Not over the phone or DM.
I purchased items on Dell I received one but the charge is still pending will I be able to get the credit for 2022? Thanks Dan
I only have $42 credit on my amex business can i use that exact amount somehow for united travelbank?
No. Just the presets.
Will it work for a DELTA $100 gift card?
Frontier is supposed to be grandfathered for 2023 but new card users will not be able to select Frontier as they are dropping them.
Any last minute idea to get AA REIMBURSED? I have the whole $200 available but don’t know how to access it
Change to JetBlue, United, or Southwest.
2 things I learned for Jet blue:
1) Bluebasic Tix need to be canceled within 24 hours.
If you don’t cancel within 24 hours, you lose it. (Not sure about blue, blue plus)
2) if you buy extra space seats, money gets refunded to your card. No option of travel bank.
Please let me know if I’m wrong.
Thanks
Does it need to post to the account to get it credited in that year?
Any data points if United Travelbank works for 2023?
Anybody know if travelbank reimbursement working for united Jan 2023?!
Made some UTB purchases on 1/1. Waiting.
lets work on this toghether everyone that got their united travel bank reimbursed the charge came up as united houston and everyone who didnt said that their charge showed up as united ticketing. Does the charge change or different people get different charge names ????
purchased 250 united travel bank for my amex aspire and the statement charge shows up as a ticket from chicago to chicago with a real ticket number.. so i guess theres no chance im gonna get the credit.
u have any update?
last year (did UTB Jan 2022) came up as Chicago flight and was refunded. not sure CURRENT status, if someone could pls update.
remember to select united as airline before buying TB
Purchased dec 28 2 $100 utb. Got refunded Jan 2
Purchased United TB in 2 transactions $100 each last week Dec, received credit for both, one in Dec and one on Jan 3
But…unfortunately waited too long for CLEAR, purchased family membership on Dec 31 for Mom and brother, 109 posted on DEc 31, 60 Posted Jan 1, called and he said cant help, chatted and rep says it triggered 2022 and I still have full 23 credit remaining!
Can i rely on that? ( as my own acct will reset next week, I need those credits)
Made a couple of sub-$100 flight reservations on SWA on 1/1/23 – hoping they’ll post!
Did they post?
Made a United travel bank purchase on Jan 1.
1/6 and no reimbursement yet.
I made a United travel bank purchase on Jan 2. Was reimbursed on 1/6.
Purchased United Travelbank 1/1.
Reimbursed 1/7.
I had two TB $100 purchases on 1/2/23 and received the credit 1/9/23, can confirm that the TB is still working.
Data point and question.
Roll over airline choice of united from last year. Bought $100 tb Jan 4. Reimbursed yesterday.
If I now chat with agent to change two days later to swa and charge $100 ticket will they allow reverse the United already processed a day ago?.. Still January but half used?
I wonder because chat bot asks if you used any of it yet this year.
Are there any similar ways to get the hotel credits?
It is still working in 2023. I used platinum and hilton aspire and t
Both got credit back.
What is preferred ua tb or jb tb?
Dan, What’s working this year?
