Flexperks Real-Time Rewards Confirmed Merchants:
Flexperks listed examples: "United, American, British Airways, Emirates, JetBlue, Southwest, Delta, Sun Country", however BEWARE that "non U.S. merchants" are not supposed to work (i.e. British Airway & Emirates). Supervisor has said that this list hasn't been updated to exclude non-US airlines. Note that it will be difficult to get any transactions covered if Real-time Rewards do not work automatically.

Anybody know how long it takes the "airline allowance" credit to post? I called over 2 weeks ago and was told the charge was okay but still haven't seen anything post online. Do I need to wait until the next statement or should I call again? (took me several tries to get to the right dept through their confusing phone tree so I'm not in a big hurry to do that again)
Three weeks after I flew the second segment, I finally saw the airline allowance credit on my statement. So for those who were wondering, I can confirm that you can use the credit for Economy+ seats < $25.

I really wish the Travelocity booking portal weren't such a worthless piece of junk. Seems like it basically looks for a couple (absurdly priced) flight options and then gives up...and if your desired ticket is more than 4 segments, you're SOL, since the multi-destination is capped at 4 flights.

Yeah, I tried that...except then they can't see web special fares, so the fare they quote me is 3x higher than the one I'm looking at on ITA for the exact same flights.

Maybe there's something in the background with bulk fares and commissions we can't see, that biases the results in Travelocity's favor? I haven't been able to pick up the pattern.

Applied for this card as part of other apps on June 28. No instant approval. It now shows up on my online banking account along with the club carlson card but doesn't show the credit limit. So took about 8 business days. I froze ARS/IDA and they pulled EQ for me.
It's weird that they call this a travel rewards card yet charge foreign transaction fees. Otherwise seems like a good program.
Do they send out offers later to get a checking account for some more points?

But I think unfortunately only for another month or so, correct? Waiting to see. I have made good use of that extra 50% bump but am concerned it is going away.

Looks like it's time to find a new card. Without the bonus, there's nothing particularly special about it.
