It says so explicitly in the link: "charged to your FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature card".

No booking fees were included, it was the same price as if I had booked with the airline.

has anyone done this? What counts? It would be pretty nice if it includes food and alcohol - couple of drinks and a sandwich might make me a happy traveler if in coach. Most of us won't have bag fees because of our elite status. Anyone figure out how to monetize THAT $20 credit?

there is a 250 point bonus for signing into your FlexPerks account and going to the Rewards section. They are doing a "test drive" of the system and giving 250 points for it.
UPDATE: My GF account does not have this offer.

I am not sure you read my post correctly. You are right there is no 25k option, but thats not the point. IF YOU CALL, you can redeem 20 K option and then also redeem 5K for a $50 gift card and that will give you access to a flight up to $450. It saves you 5k if the price of your flight is within $50 of the level you redeem.
But I am still curious about the using both a gift card and flexpoints in the same transaction.

Wow, this is a big ^, and I wonder why Flexperks points haven't begun extensive trading on CC, as these are worth much more than TYPoints and are truly one of the most "flexible" reward currencies out there.

I don't think this has been discussed, but you don't even need to "household" your accounts. If you check the Rewards Center you can transfer points from your Flexperks account into any other Flexperks account. The transfer is instantaneous.

They don't feel very flexible to me. Outside of air travel, they aren't worth too much; for air travel, they only come in an initial 20k bolus, and then in increments of 10k each, so they're not very useful for buying (for example) a $300 ticket, a $404 ticket, a $520 ticket, etc., as too much value is being lost. Plus most of us accrued our big bonuses and probably don't see a lot of value in sticking with the program in the long run, given the limitations and the slow rate of earning.

For those who said this card is only good for airline tickets...
I like the sign up bonus on this card (10,000 FlexPerks) and it was easy to accumulate additional points as part of the promotion period. However, I never used this card as my primary so did not end up spending $5,000 before 10/31 to earn double points.
In the end, I only signed up for the card to cash out on a free $300 plane ticket. Even though I do not have enough points to do so, I'll still be able to cash out on $100+ worth of giftcards (Amazon, Best Buy, Outback Steakhouse, etc.) or cash. For cash, use the "Choose Your Own Rewards" feature and sell back points to the cent (ie 10,851 FlexPerks = $108.51).
