Amex plat statement credits - clarification on what's eligible and what's not

Got the following via regular mail today from amex. most notably, annual club memberships are allowed, while gift cards are not.

Eligible:
*Checked baggage fee
*Overweight/ovrsize baggage fees
*Itinerary change fees
*Phone reservation fees
*Pet flight fees
*airport lounge day passes and annual memberships
*Seat assignment fees
*in-flight amenity fees (beverages, food, pilllows/blankets, headphones)
*In flight entertainment fees (excluding wireless internet because it's not charged by the airline)

Not Eligible:
*Incidental fees not charged by the airline you're enrolled in (e.g. wireless internet charged by the service prvider and fees incurred with airline alliance partners)
* Airline tickets
* Upgrades
*Mileage points purchases
*Mileage points transfer fees
*Gift cards
*Duty-free purchases
*Award ticket fees

That may be what the official rules say but there are plenty of reports of people getting theoretically ineligible charges approved.

I had success with AA GCs

Without that the $200 statement credit would have almost no value to any FF elite

I just used it to get extra UA miles with the award accelerator.

agreed... but if i got a notice that gift cards were specifically referenced as ineligible, i'd carefully consider whether i wanted to charge those or not.
