Or, if you do, just make sure you know how the charge has been reported to Amex.

I would be vague of course. I wouldn't outright say they are gc

[red259]

And if they ask you point blank what the purchase was for?

same thing I did for Ritz card.

"checked baggage fees"


eventually either you don't get reimbursed, or you call up and ask. either way the worst case scenario is you don't get reimbursement.

I'd go with this, especially in $50 increments.

Yes that is what I intend to say should I bring asked.

I don't mean to a prude or anything and what people choose to do with their own accounts is their own business, but I don't think it's a good idea to post methods that outright involve lying to a lender to get a benefit that we are not entitled to. Not judging but if everyone starts doing that Amex is going to be like **bleep** is with this sudden increase in baggage fees!

No one seemed to have a problem with applying for offers they weren't targeted for, or re-using one-use offer codes when the 100k online platinum offer went away and everyone began calling up to apply. Applying over the phone using a POID and/or offer code you didn't receive, for an offer that was targeted at certain individuals is also lying. 

A lie of omission is still a lie.

Hahaha...on their next report, baggage fee redemptions increased 1000%!

[red259]

They didn't ask where I got the code and I have no idea who was targeted or how. They could have also just said no which they did to some people.
