They are firm in saying that the computer says I selected the next day and therefore won't give me any rebate. Have escalated up the ladder and still no. I selected the airline online before I booked. Anyone else have this issue or any ideas?
Be nice to them, explain the situation and ask for a courtesy credit (then don't forget to use the Airline Credit before the 31st ;))

I assume you don't have the email from them from when you selected the airline. I received a confirmation email from them 1 minute after selecting the airline...

I scoured my email and never found the confirmation email. Also have been very nice to them as well. Very frustrating.

How did you select it? If you chatted with them, then they should have the transcripts to look up.

The subject of the email is "We Received Your Airline Change Request".

Looked again and found the email in a spam folder and called back. Finally got a supervisor that did the right thing and gave me 7,500 points as a courtesy for the fact it took months to get this resolved. Thanks all for the help.

Yup. Got the full 50% rebate plus bonus miles. The supervisor told me that he could see on his end that they send me the email prior to booking the tickets and didn't have a good answer as to why no one else saw that in my 5 prior calls and escalations. I think that is why he gave me the bonus points.

Took care of the year end credit as well.

If you previously linked plat to uber for the $15/month then closed or downgraded the plat(s)... check your uber account.. seeing dps that $15 credits are showing up with the new year. Uber glitch?
