January was quite an eventful month. While the biggest news was obviously the changes that Chase made to the Sapphire Reserve, here are a few more stories that we covered this month. I tried experimenting with the Amex airline fee credit benefit and it worked for me for buying tickets.
These flight tickets triggered my Amex Airline Free Credit
These can be a YMMV situation. However, I tried experimenting a bit and bought tickets on Alaska Airlines to check if that would trigger the airline fee credit. Within a few days, I got the full reimbursement for the flight tickets on my card. In this post, I outline the entire process of what I did and how it worked out. This is largely dependent on how Amex codes your purchase and your experience may be different.
However, it always helps if you can find more data points of what’s working. Airline free credit workarounds have always been a hot topic of discussion on many forums like Reddit and Flyertalk. Please do your own research for reliable data points before making any purchase.
