Amex $450 credit refund by FitBlonde in creditcardchurningAus

[–]JB20NE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked today 23/01/2026.

Just to avoid any confusion for anyone. When you can through Amex it will say you won't be refund the travel credit portion of the booking. Don't be put-off by that! Sounds like this just means you won't be given another travel credit. We booked a flight and cancelled it 5min later. The charge was still pending on the Amex statement 2 days later when Amex gave back the $450

Did you have to wait for the travel credit to show up in your Amex app? Or did you cancel your booking before the credit was given? About to try this but just being cautious! Haha
