However, as has been pointed out upthread, that's not what AA alleged.

Those are two very different things. AA security accused you of doing ABC. Your response was that you didn't do XYZ. That would make me suspicious. This is not a situation in which you want to play at semantics. "It depends upon what the meaning of the word is, is."

But if you didn't do it intentionally, how can you guarantee that it won't happen again? And if you did do it intentionally....

As you can see, I was wondering the same thing. My feeling after reading OP's posts is that there's some dancing around the facts going on.

I agree. Seems very straightforward to me.

I'm trying to imagine how this came about. When I make a payment on either my AMEX or Citibank cards (the only credit cards I have), the payment is posted within seconds.

You do understand that notarization simply ensures that you were the one who actually signed the affidavit, right? It's identity verification, nothing more.

You already promised to follow the rules when you enrolled in AAdvantage. Additionally, an affidavit is only relevant to things that have already occurred. An affidavit which purports to promise something for the future is illogical and meaningless.

What bank is handling this card? As above, my payments clear immediately.
I understand that this must be very distressing to you, OP; however, after reading and rereading everything that you wrote, I am left with the feeling that there's more to the story. Possibly AA was left with the same feeling.
