After seeing your post, I just checked as well and noticed my charge hadn't hit, then I checked my email and noticed that I did receive a confirmation however in that email there is a link to click to verify your account and subscription. I hadn't done that previously, so perhaps that is why. Did you complete that portion?

Yeah, I understand that. Depends on where you are traveling to but it is a bummer. I mainly use mine for flights to SE Asia and even the Y redemptions went up by 15K points

Sorry, if you can't find time or remember to make a phone call at some point in a 3 week window, I can't help

Wow... I just looked into this to confirm and got this page...



That is a real bummer. I have used this feature when I needed a couple thousand points to meet a reward, that is a big deal not being able to buy them anymore
