Not sure why your account is not showing the discount. When I pull price of any flight on TY travel center site the value in points is roughly 25% below expedia.com. e.g. a flight i recently booked was priced at $1653 on expedia and on continental.com but when priced through TY travel center it came out to 124300 points. Then when i went into payment options it showed 2 choices:

Points + Cash = 124300 points + $0 cash
Cash = $1653

Now I changed points down to only 1000 and the cash column went up to $1233. However, cash only row remained at $1653.

Bottomline, as long as some points are being used you get a 24% discounted price.
