That's unfortunate, their language is very unclear about this and actually implies the opposite.
Yes I have had many arguments with check in reps about this.
how does their language imply the opposite?

You still get this when booking through a third party, their exclusion should include the fact that it had to have been booked with the card, not just "does not apply to MP cardholders."

How does it make sense that 2 of the same flights a day apart have different scheduled arrival times?

Why would a flight coming from CDG to JFK be redirected to BGR (Maine) ?
Flight is AA121.
I have family members on plane.

Medical emergency, weather, mechanical failure...could be anything. They should be able to give you some insight though.

My parents cancelled a B6 Blue Flex flight not realizing that the money goes into their travel bank rather than back on to their card. Flight was to Aruba so it was costly and expires within 1 year. Any chance they would refund back to the card?

Re posting from Elal thread from 2 days ago:

Just curious, noticed Elal had a flight LY21 at 11:30pm and then LY1 12:45am ex tlv. Why do they have 2 flights so close to each other? Is the LY21 a regular flight?
