So in November I signed up for AA advantage mastercard since the ticket agent told me about the benefits on one of my flights. I fly American often and they were offering 60k bonus miles plus all the other benefits when owning Barclays's mastercard. So I signed up and waited to get approved. I was approved and I called to activate card and ask about what I needed to do to get my bonus miles. Like I was told by the agent at AA, I needed to make one purchase and pay the annual fee of 99$. So, according to my notes, I set up an online account Nove. 13, 2023, I made my first purchase on November 19th. and on November 30th I paid the annual fee of 99$ which shows on my online transaction statement. I month later I called and someone at barclays told me that I would not get my bonus flyer miles until the 90 days. I watched online my charges as well as my payments. When I didn't get statement in the mail I called and they told me nothing was due yet. So I just waited. I called again in February and they said after the ninety days and my first payment I would received the bonus miles. I went on again March 2nd to see if I got them yet and it says 60 K Bonus miles EXPIRED. I called and asked what was going on. They said I had to pay the annual fee in the first 90 days after I signed up. I told them it was paid and that I had an online statement that showed November 30th 99$ charge. She said to me that they didn't take money until February and it is now too late. I said I had an online account since NOV. 2023. I called and they said nothing was due yet so I set up auto pay so I wouldn't miss a payment and they didn't take a payment until FEB. 2024. I told them I never received any statements did I miss a payment. I don't see any late charges posted. She couldn't explain that but only stated that the payment was taken auto pay after the 90 days. She also said a statement was sent out but then said I selected no paper bills. I would never do that ever.

So let me get this straight. I signed up for a Credit card in Nov. Made my first charge in November. Sent up an online acct. in NOV. No bill came I called, they said nothing was due yet. I asked about my bonus miles they said after you pay the annual fee. I said I have it already set up for payment (I see it on my bill online). They said you have to wait the 90 days. I waited. And they don't take any money out of my Auto pay until FEB and now tell OH SORRY ITS PAST THE 90 DAYS? What?

Has this happened to anyone else? I feel scammed.
