In the past when I have went to redeem points, usually the $400 credit would post the same day or the very next day with the actual charge hitting a few days later. This time was totally different. No credit has posted!

I went to check my Travelocity purchase confirmation e-mail and it does NOT reflect the 20,000 point redemption. This is infuriating!! I wasn't expecting to have to pay the full amount of the flight this month.

Today I went to book a separate flight and the redemption option (Step 3), did not even show up this time.

There is something clearly wrong with the Travelocity site. I really wish Barclays and Travelocity would actually talk to each other vs. pushing the calls from one direction to another.

Has anyone managed to get a U.S. based Amex/Barclays call center that has some authority to make changes and solve these problems?!??

**Folks, keep posting your problems and success stories. It is our best shot of trying to get this system fixed. Granted it is sad that the consumers have to do all this work, just to TRY and use the basic functions of a credit card.
Had the same problem - took weeks of fighting between Barclays and Travelocity to get them to work together to fix the problem.

Infuriating indeed.
