Tasting Room Bonus
My January statement had a credit of 6197 points for TastingRoom purchases. The following month showed a reversal of -3832 for the same.
Below it stated;
Has anyone else seen this?

On a recent statement we inadvertanly awarded you extra FlexPoints for transactions with TastingRoom. This statement reflects an offsetting tranactionin in the rewards section of your statement.

I've already passed the $24K spend mark on my card so I will be receiving 3500 extra points to take care of the $49 fee.
I agree that the redemption limit can be tough, though I am getting some great returns from certain spending.

I just booked a last minute trip with my points. Does anyone know if the $25 travel expense covers buying Wifi on my Delta flight? If not, what else can I use it for? I won't be checking any bags and have coupons for free booze. Thanks!

Not sure about GoGo, but I believe you can use the credit toward any food available for purchase.

You have to call them on the phone and have them apply the credit manually after the fact, so my guess is that anything reasonable should work. I'd be surprised if wifi wouldn't work.

I wonder if Delta sells gift certificates or something similar I can apply towards a future flight.

Oh, I haven't thought of that, thank you! I'm already upgraded to first class on the outbound on Delta but my return flight is on United and I actually can't get a seat assignment. It's showing that $22 buys me an Economy Plus seat, yay!

Airline allowance
From the FAQ section of US Bank's Reward Center website:
"When your flight is booked by redeeming your FlexPoints, we will give you an airline allowance up to $25.00 to use during your award travel time. This allowance may be used to pay for any purchases through the airline during your travel dates on your FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa card such as checked luggage and in-flight food/drinks; however, a restaurant or store in the airport would not qualify."
This language is broad and should cover wi-fi purchases. However, it might not be deemed to cover a buy-up to Economy Comfort -- they might take the position that you made the actual purchase before your travel time and not during your travel time.

Now that I ponder this further, I'm wondering if the $25 applies to each leg of a round-trip ticket or instead is a maximum limit for the entire trip. Has anyone had success in being refunded a total of more than $25 for a round-trip ticket?
