- The airline incidental fee credit can be difficult to use the "official" way; so here is an updated video, and some other and more easier ways I've actually maximize and trigger the airline credit; on your premium travel credit cards. Such as the American Express Platinum cards, Hilton Honors Aspire credit card or even the Ritz Carlton credit card, by Chase bank. Along with proof of the methods actually working; by testing them myself and showing my experience along the way. However these methods are a little bit risky, because they are not officially guaranteed to work; under the terms and conditions of most credit cards or charge cards. However if they don't work; here's what to do to try to trigger the credit anyways.

***UPDATE - STILL WORKS***
I purchased two Delta gift cards online (I got two free $20 gift cards with two $300 gift card purchases for their Mother's Day special) and used this to buy two separate round-trip plane tickets. I kept each flight purchase below $200 after the gift card was added and received the airline credit 3 days later.
**Thanks for the advice Calby!
**Also, if you plan to do this, always check to see if there are any offers with an e-gift card purchase and double dip as I did lol
What’s up guys!! Great video calby! I’ve used this technique
Hahaha, glad you caught that. Thanks Uncle Luke!
Great info Calby! Thanks for the data points! 👍
Of course! Thanks Cesar!!
Gonna do the ecredit method next year! Thanks for the info
Thanks for the update!
Of course! Hope it can help!
Thanks for the tips + information + video!!!
Of course Jimmy! Glad I could be of some help!!
e credits + cash and gift cards + cash will trigger the airline incidental credit as the transaction will fall under "additional collection"
a small YT channel explained this as she uses that hack
Oh that's interesting; didn't know that. Good on her for knowing that, that's pretty cool actually.
Great video Calby. I live in MIA and AA is my preferred carrier selected on my Amex Platinum. Assume these strategies would work as well for AA?
Ah gotcha, yes they should work just the same. Personally I have not tried using the airline credit with AA, but other data points I've seen say they work with Southwest and United Airlines. Not sure though, if you cancel with AA you'll get any credit back.
@@CalbyNgjust to confirm the under $250 ticket hack should work on United as well?
@@juamalik Yep it should, but the United Travel Bank might be a better option for you. It's basically like buying a gift card.
Personally, I haven't tried it before, but there are a lot of data points of it working. Might be worth a shot.

Have you heard of this working with Virgin Atlantic? Going to be flying with them but the flights will be with Delta and Air France I believe. I assume I should switch the credit to Virgin, but unsure if it would work.
Solid methods for Delta! Can confirm any flights under $103 on SW will trigger the credit on the platinum. Flexibility with SW bookings will allow you to change or refund as a flight credit for a larger flight or to combine with those who also hold an Aspire with the quarterly $50 (true) airline credit.
What's SW?
@@yaswanthpopuri242Southwest airlines.
@@yaswanthpopuri242 Southwest or code WN
Nice! Definitely can't ever have enough data points; especially since each year can be different. Ohhh that's a good point for the Hilton Aspire, Southwest is prbly the way to go for the Aspire, can't believe it's in quarterly credits; that has to be a pain in the bum. Thanks Ninja!
Calby always comes and lays down the LAW on this topic, will be referring back to this next time I try to use my Airline Credit!
Ha! Thanks Mr.Venture, hope it’ll help ya out during that time
Thanks for the Video. Can you get the credit if you ticket is < 200 if you do not use some sort of gift card or ecredit. I thought you had to have some sort of gift card.
$250 seems to be the maximum; so if you’re under that, you don’t need to use gift cards or ecredit to offset. So yes you are correct 👍 Thanks for stopping by Richard!
Man I completed overlooked the requirement for airfare to be under $250! What a BS requirement!
Ah yeah, it can be a pain, haha. Thanks Ken!
Does hack #4 (e-credit) work for comfort+ seat?
Yep! Anything above economy should work
@@CalbyNg Hey, so i just tried this method, but unfortunately it didn’t work ☹️. I booked a comfort+ flight for $199. Then canceled for delta e-credit a couple days later. I waited 5 days but amex didn’t apply any credits. I chatted with a rep (using your script) and told them it was for check in bags. They said “their system says Delta submitted the charge as a passenger ticket,” so they couldn’t apply any credits unless they submit for higher level review, which I declined. (Also, odd thing is that when I booked the flight on the delta app, I got an email from amex saying “congratulations on booking your trip” and it even knew my itinerary. So something must be linked up between the delta app and the amex card to show it is a passenger ticket AND what my itinerary is)
Would this work for JetBlue?
It should? I know it works with Southwest; so as long as the booking codes as JetBlue I could see it working. Of course I don’t have any datapoints personally
I have tried all of them except the gift card
Nice!! I’m really curious about the gift card method, it seems almost too easy, haha. Thanks Juan!
I recently switched my seats from main cabin to comfort+ on delta for an international flight. The airline credit was NOT triggered and Amex customer service said that the seat change did not count as it is considered a seat upgrade (change of cabin). They also mentioned that seat changes are at the discretion of the airline. This happened in Jan this year.
Oh yeah seat changes and seat upgrades don’t count towards the airline credit. I would try to mention something on the approved list; like say it was a seat assignment fee or if that fails say it was baggage fees. Thanks for the data point Laura!
Is the gift card method okay to use during my welcome offer ? Or is it sketchy lol
Gonna be honest, it’s sketchy whenever you do it, haha. But yeah you could use these methods while working on the welcome bonus.
I’m first!
Sure buddy, sureeeee 🥹

Does anyone know how to use the Dell credit for the Platinum Business?
Good question, I personally don’t have experience with the Dell credit but I heard you can buy Dell gift cards and Xbox gift cards and sometimes it’ll trigger; but they are notorious about cancelling the orders.
Other than that Dell sells a bunch of stuff like cameras, computer accessories, Microsoft office, smart watches, even Adobe Creative Cloud.
Bought a one way air fare for $130 but when I reclaim the transaction they knew it was an airline credit. Telling them it was checked bags did not work 😢
Hey Calby , I have send you the email have you received it ?
Yep I’ve received it; reviewing now
