Amex reportedly shut down a popular workaround that linked United TravelBank deposits to the airline incidental credit.
The $200 annual credit for airline incidental fees can no longer be triggered via TravelBank deposits, Amex says.
United was the designated airline for some users who leveraged deposits to TravelBank to gain a flexible $200 credit.
Cardholders reported the perk’s value diminished as perks and credits are scrutinized by issuers.
The airline credit is intended for incidental fees, not airfare or large purchases.
Amex said TravelBank deposits are treated as gift cards under the benefit’s terms.
The development reflects ongoing tensions between rewards programs and consumers seeking to maximize benefits.
Spokespersons noted the airline credit is designed to cover incidental charges charged by the airline.
Online forums were the stage for discussions about the perk’s value and limits.
The change was reported by Daily Mail’s YourMoneyUK edition on March 13, 2026.
