PDB = pre-departure beverage. These terms can be confusing for sure-- I have to use the glossary under the Help file a lot! Perhaps it was that it was harder to obtain than an alcoholic beverage for whatever reason, because the others that asked for those got them.

Thanks for the suggestion to just call-- I'll do that.

I considered getting the VX credit card, but after reading so many issues that people are having with the new card, I've decided to not take that step. I'll wait until they get things a bit more under control before I'll sign up and keep using my other co-branded credit cards!
