I mean I'm not complaining about getting $20 back for no apparent reason, I'm just a bit perplexed. Anybody experience something similar?
Maybe it is because you paid for the entire ticket with the travelbank and it is considered a type of rebate program & the fees they refunded you can't be used from the travelbank?

I paid for a ticket last year with partial travelbank and the rest credit card, so I assume the credit card portion of the payment was used for those fees.

Interesting to see how they might manage this in the future while paying from travelbank for the entire purchase of a ticket.
