Log in to your American Express account online or in the American Express app.
Go to Benefits and select 'Choose Your Airline' under the Airline Fee Credit.
Select one qualifying airline for the calendar year. You can change it once per year in January.
Use your American Express Platinum to pay for incidental fees (checked bags, seat selection, in-flight purchases) on that airline.
Statement credits of up to $200 will appear within a few days after the charge posts.
Choose your airline early in the year - you can only select one per calendar year.
The credit covers incidental fees only, not the ticket itself. Checked bags, seat upgrades, and lounge day passes work well.
Some gift card purchases from airlines have historically triggered the credit, but this is not guaranteed.
You can change your airline selection in January of each year.
If you fly one airline most often, pick that one to maximize credits on bag fees and seat selection.
