Amex Airline Fee Credit: Change Your Airline Choice Now!
Published on January 1, 2026, 9:20 PM
Heads up, fellow travel hackers! Did you know that you can actually *change* the airline you've selected for your Amex airline fee credit mid-year? This is fantastic news because life happens, and maybe the airline you picked at the beginning of the year isn't working out for your travel plans. Why should you care? Well, this credit (typically around \$200-300 depending on your Amex card) can be a lifesaver for offsetting expenses like checked baggage fees, inflight refreshments, or even airline lounge day passes. If you’re not flying your originally chosen airline as much as you thought, switching it up ensures you don't leave free money on the table. The process is usually pretty straightforward through Amex's website or app. So, take a peek at your travel plans for the rest of the year and make sure your designated airline still aligns. A few minutes of effort could save you a bundle!
