I didn't get credit for a B6 Even More Space separate post-ticketing transaction. When I called about it, making it very clear that it was a qualifying seat upgrade fee, the rep "opened a case" with the credit appearing within a couple of weeks.

Frontier Airlines - DEN Membership - Travel credit question

I'm trying to book frontier airlines tickets for the first time for family (4 tickets). I see that if I join DEN the DEN discount flight overall price (lower by $125) is coming out lower than the membership price ($99).

I also have the BOA travel rewards card that will reimburse the frontier DEN membership price.

Will Frontier DEN membership price of $99 show as a separate transaction in the BOA site? Want to know if this will be reimbursed as part of the $100 annual travel credit.

Do we need to purchase discount den first as a separate transaction or can it be purchased along with ticket booking and still shows a separate transaction to trigger the credit?

Anyone tried to use this card to pay Global Entry/TSA membership/renewal fee? If so, can you share how long it took to get credit ? Thanks.

Yes, I did this very recently to renew my Global Entry membership. Transaction was 08/24 and credit appeared 8/27

As far as I know, AA no longer offers in-flight duty free merchandise:

I had upgraded my Alaska seat to premium and was charged $148.99 on 10/05 but it is not reimbursed yet. I am wondering if it needs a manual override. Anyone had success calling?

Thanks for posting. I'm debating an upgrade to Comfort+ on a five-hour overnight flight for $129. I still have the expense credit to spend on two PR cards. If we stay in coach, I'd just buy a Southwest gift card and sell it, although I see it's down to $76 from the $85 that I got last year. Maybe I should just buy the upgrade and be done with it. No luggage charge on the DL flight.

I probably missed this, but Cardcash doesn't even seem to be buying AA gift cards anymore. They were the other option for laundering the credit.

Update -- something must have changed, because I cannot find any site purchasing AA gift cards.

Update to my previous post, my trip got cancelled at the last minute. I have no other flights scheduled for the year. Are there any options for monetizing the $100 credit other than a Southwest gift card?

Update -- I just checked Cardcash again, and they are buying AA gift cards again, offering $80. So slightly better than the $76 for SW.
