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.

I had this exact situation last year. I kept checking every day, and eventually one day the exchange rate dropped just enough to make my ticket 399.xx and I bought. Just be patient, but keep in mind that there is a risk that the fare will sell out. If you're willing to take the risk, wait it out. If not, you may want to purchase for €353.

Has anyone been reimbursed the $25 airline purchase on a flex perks reward ticket? I'm mid trip and have no use for the $25 on incidentals or baggage. Would like to get AA GC but only if will be credited.
I see old posts on this from a few years ago but would like more current feedback if possible.

yes you can definitely still do this. (use your visa to purchase a $25 airline gift certificate during your trip, then call in and request the reimbursement for it)

UPDATE: I purchased a $50 GC on AA while on trip (there were 2 of us on award tix) b/c no $25 option. Automatically reimbursed $50 by cc.

Just booked a multi-city. First leg on United and Second on AA. I included both FF numbers in my reso. Both are showing as one itinerary in my AA FF account but that means I cannot select seats for my United flight or view it in my UA FF account for online checkin. They did not send aa or UA confirmation numbers, only their proprietary numbers. Any way to extract the UA reso?
Side note: I doubt this will work but I get free bags with AA but not with UA, maybe as they are under the same reso I can get free bags with UA and save my $25 remimbursement for something else.

I'm peeved about a flex perks reward. Went on BA and saw an Economy Plus ticket for $356. Found ticket via flex perks for same time/date/price (so 20k points). Booked it. Turns out the ticket is Economy (not Plus). This means a lot less flexibility and extra charges for seat selection and baggage. I'm very annoyed. Called USbank and complained. It is reasonable to assume that the Flexperks ticket was the same as the BA one (which is also on google.com/flights and ITA matrix). They offered to redeposit the points but would not change the class of ticket. That doesn't help me b/c there is no apparent way to force the system to purchase the Plus ticket. The regular Economy ticket on BA was $318.

Did you call before or after the fact? When I called after the fact she said she could not locate the class. Maybe it's a HUCA situation. I'll call tomorrow. She did say I could redeposit points and re ticket but there were no better options and it would take 6-8 weeks for points to post back to account.

Datapoint. Had two flexperks awards therefore two $25 credits. AA charge was $50. Requested and received one $50 reimbursement. Evidently the single charge was not a problem. I'd heard it was and so was concerned but all worked out.

Did you book two separate reservations on the same flights?
