Just look at who the flight is operated by. If it isn't AA, it will probably incur a sizable cash fee.

Thanks, I figured that and was thinking AA would offer a flight through TX and direct with AA to TLV. Nothing showing for the days available to search.

AA only charges YQ on BA and IB, look for a transatlantic flight on AA metal to save most of the taxes.

Thanks, I would appreciate if you can tell me how to do that.

any israeli style shwarma places near surfside?

If you search Kosher Restaurants in Surfside Fl you will see what is available.

It would help if you told us the routing and airlines that are showing such high fees.

I went onto AA.com and looked for a Business Class flight from NYC to TLV. The 1st choice was with BA and as usual the fees were high like a 1000.00 per ticket. The 2nd I think was with Iberia and the fees were around 580.00. I am not locked in to a specific date. I  am looking to go mid Jan 2021 for 2 shabbosim. Leaving on a wed and returning on Sunday. If need be Feb 2021. Thanks for your help.

You can definitely try. The question is whether you would prevail. I would first try to appeal directly with Citi and Costco.

I tried that route, I called them both. Costco says call Citi and Citi says it is lost.

Don’t book flights on British Airways.

That I figured out they are charging around 1000.00 per ticket. The next was 588.00. Anyway to get around this.

First step would be to read the Terms and Conditions of the cardmember agreement.

They claim that once they shut you down you would lose anything that they are giving you. Like Thank You points or cash reward.

What did they shut you down for?

It could be I paid off the card a few times with in the billing cycle. They do not give you a reason. Just like chase.

I had a citi costco cash back card and they owed me around 2100.00 in rewards money. They closed my citi account 2 month ago and they say that I lost the reward money. Can anyone tell me if I have any way of getting the reward money, like taking them to small claims court or other choices.

My last two times there were very poor experiences with very long waits. Granted, I haven't used the location for over a year, because of those experiences...

I rent from them every year for 1 day. I found them ok. I have not had issues
