There are multiple DP on reddit saying that they were reimbursed for more than $100. These are the transactions I found:
$113.67
$170
$200
So AMEX might have extended the $200 Dell credit
Edit: These are after 1/1/21
Fingers crossed
Where would we check for the additional $200 Dell credit on the Business Platinum?
There is no meter for this like the airline credit. My 200 dell credit showed up 3 days later after purchase. on the 19th of Dec. Same goes for the shipping and wireless credits
Mint Mobile does not work anymore. Chatted with Amex, agent asked to wait 4 weeks. No luck with manual adjustment.
Mine worked. Loaded my wallet for $21.00 on 8/5/20 and it posted on 8/13/20 as a credit.

Hilton Aspire DP.
P2 applied on 5/21/2020 and was approved, applied for these reasons:
1) New accounts before 5/31/2020 get an extra 3 months to meet minimum spend requirements.
2) The possibility of being able to use Hilton Resorts $250 credit at restaurants, however was advised this is targeted and may not work.
Received card, activated, purchased meal at restaurant and used grubhub, both worked and triggered Hilton Resorts credits. It was worth the risk. Now to spend the $250 airline credit on some under $100 Southwest or Alaska flights (https://travelupdate.com/amex-airline-incidental-fee-credit-2020/).
Are you sure Alaska still triggers the credit?
Nope, I haven’t tried Alaska yet but when I do I’ll probably choose a flight under $80 and cross my fingers.
I’ve only tried two Southwest flights under $50 each and they triggered Amex Hilton Aspire credits. Credits at top, the flight is at the very bottom, this was in March 2020. I hope this helps someone.

Here is the thread for getting credits to post with Alaska. Purchasing cheap tickets doesn’t work but it kind of does…https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/american-express-membership-rewards/2002973-airline-fee-250-200-100-reimbursement-reports-only-2020-a-17.html
Marriott Brilliant DP:
6/1 – Starbucks $300 GC purchased at drive thru
6/4 – $300 credit posted
Thanks for the post DOC. These are the types of things I could easily overlook on my own but are super helpful.
Put in a seamless order on June 1st for the Hilton Aspire. Did I need anything to have it out towards the credit and (unofficially) how long should it take for the credit to show up.
Update. Credit was given today.
Keep in mind that at least with Verizon, paying with credit card doesn’t give you the autopay discount. Just found that out the hard way when my phone bill was +$40 this month. So, I would pay an excess of +$20 w/ the AMEX telephone credit on top. Not worth for me.
Hope people post their experiences as to how fast the dining credits actually post and how fast?
And also how fast they post.
Hilton Aspire posts within 3 days and deducts from hilton resorts credit, I wish this was a permanent feature. Oh well I’ll take it.
Has anyone tried postage via PayPal’s shipping center to see if it triggers the credit?
I tried to pay for Ebay Shipping and it didn’t work. USPS stamps purchase worked just fine.
