I wasn't expecting it the first time, but it's always appeared.
The Thai fees were refunded to my Schwab account on the last day of the month.

card issuer. I would say that Barclaycard was adversarial in your interactions and could benefit from some remedial training on the issue. While I haven't raised a complaint with the network about a card issuer, I did raise a complaint about a merchant requiring ID for a properly signed MasterCard as a condition of card acceptance. Within two weeks the signs/ID requests went away at that merchant.
I have followed your advice and will report back. (I still have a bunch of points to use up on this card before I cancel.)
