We originally booked the hotel for 5 nights by redeeming 183,924 points. During check-in, we were dissatisfied with the hotel service and negotiated with the hotel manager to pay for only one night and receive a refund for the remaining 4 unused nights. We were instructed to call ***** Travel Customer Service to speak with the hotel manager, who had already approved the refund for the unused nights. They only required us to pay for the one night that was actually used. However, I was then informed that I needed to wait for two billing cycles to receive the points refund. To my surprise, a few weeks later, I discovered that I had been charged 46,216 points I was unsure about the reason for this charge. Consequently, I contacted ***** Customer Service to discuss the issue with my points. I was transferred to a supervisor who explained that the charge was a penalty fee of $462.16 (which is equivalent to 46,216 points redeemed) for the hotel cancellation and receive the partial refunds of 137,708 points. I never been informed about this charge! This unexpected development caught me off guard, and I questioned whether this was a normal procedure.Business Response

We are unable to redeem our ******* *******. We are a long time ******* ******** customer and they offered us rewards if we signed up for their ******* ********* Credit Card. So we did, earned these rewards for purchases and now we are unable to redeem. We've been trying to do this all year long and still cannot redeem after repeatedly trying to use the website, phone app, letters, and phone calls. They keep sending us emails and texts about redemption amounts and links but they never work. Their excuse is that the system is experiencing a problem, try again later. Can you help us make them honor their offer?Customer Answer

Aug. 2018 I purchased and a $200.00 warranty for a recliner I purchased at ***** for my Mother. The warranty was not used within the 5 year period so I was entitled to receive a warranty refund. I put in a claim to have my warranty returned to me however I've had to call several times to correct misinformation or lack of information for my refund and was told that the claim was finally updated and accepted and the coupon would be mailed to me. I still have not received it and there's a 30 deadline for the coupon to be used. Warranty sales check # ********. Recliner sales check # ********Business Response

I purchased a business class ticket for two to *** **** at $1,379.96 through ***** ****** in October 2022. Due to an issue from ***** ******'s end, I was offered an alternative flight on *** ****** ******* priced at $6,812.76 without any additional charge. In April 2023, a significant schedule change occurred, prompting me to request an involuntary change to a later date. However, during the process of confirming this change in August, a miscommunication with the agent led to the non-issue of new tickets, resulting in a no-show scenario. Upon contacting ***** ******, I was initially offered a refund of $1,379.96 against a cancellation and no-show fee of $800, which I was dissatisfied with and rejected. I talked to a different agent at a later date, who offered a full refund of $6,812.76, for which I agreed to be charged an $800 fee. Despite multiple assurances from various agents and supervisors about the refund of $6,812.76, one month post the refund request, only $1,379.96 has been credited back to my account. Today, a supervisor reverted to the original refund amount, which is unacceptable as it does not align with the agreed refund amount of $6,812.76 as was agreed upon and confirmed in earlier conversations. ***** ****** insisted that the agent did not receive confirmation during the communication regarding the involuntary date change, and therefore bears no responsibility for the non-issuance and the no-show. They have again refused to perform the refund amounting to what the agent explicitly and repeatedly provided. This is apparently a case of double standards and a breach of business integrity. Given that the agent provided an amount, and that I agreed to and paid the cancellation fee, it is an agreement reached and should be adhered to.Business Response

On June 15th 2023 we bought two tickets for a ******* *** flight through ***** Travel Rewards portal from ***** to ******, with a 2.5 hour layover in *****. ***** Trip ID *********, ******* ***line confirmation number ******. On July 21st 2023, we were informed that the timing of our *****-****** flight had been changed, such that our layover would be close to 12 hours. This made the flight ticket useless for us, as a 12 hour layover is too long and our onward travels within ****** would be adversely affected. Since then we have reached out to cxloyalty/***** Travel Rewards customer service phone number five times to cancel the ticket and get a full refund. They have so far refused to provide the refund. The customer service representatives keep mentioning that they need to get a waiver from ******* ***lines first before they can cancel the ticket. But after months of trying, they have not been able to get in touch with the airlines. This seems to be a communication issue between the cxloyalty and their airline partners, but for some reason we are being held liable for it. We have also tried to cancel the ticket through ******* ***lines directly as well, but get referred back to cxloyalty/***** since the ticket was bought through them. From our perspective, we are stuck with a ticket that we did not buy and that is unacceptable. We would like a full refund since we cannot use the ticket.Business Response

GOING THERE IN EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC, ON TOP OF MY HIDDEN PROBLEM, I OVERHEATED AT THE WAINSCOTT, US POST OFFICE, WHERE I USED A PHONE AND GOT SOME WATER, WHICH ENABLED ME TO GET THERE IN SHORT ORDER, BEING ONLY 8 MILES AWAY. THEN WHEN I LEFT, AT 8:15 PM, WITH A GALLON OF WATER, I ONCE AGAIN WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND MY CAR STARTED TO HEAT UP AGAIN. I FOOLISHLY THOUGHT THAT ONCE I HIT THE OPEN HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD BE OKAY AND COOL DOWN. BUT IT DIDN'T, I ONCE MORE OVERHEATED ON RT. **, 23 MILES AWAY FROM MY SISTER AND 53 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. NOW, ALL THE WHILE, I THOUGHT I STILL HAD *********** COVERAGE.

I AM IN TOTAL DARKNESS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE THEN GIVES ME A PHONE NUMBER FOR ATHION WHICH I CALL AND GET.....A VOICEMAIL????? *********** WAS TOTALLY USELESS FOR ME AND A GIGANTIC WASTE OF MY TIME. I WAS ENTITLED TO A TOW OFF RT.** FOR $80.00 AND INSTEAD HAD TO PAY ANOTHER TOW COMPANY $170.00 JUST TO GO 5 MILES. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY COVERAGE WAS CANCELED ON MAY 3, 2023, BECAUSE I GOT A NEW CREDIT CARD AND IT SISN'T AUTOMATICALLY COVER MY RENEWAL, WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD HAPPEN, NONETHELESS, DID *********** CALL ME, E-MAIL ME OR MAIL ME A LETTER, SO THAT I COULD RENEW????????????????

I booked Trip ID: *********, Flight Confirmation # ****** through ***** Travel (******* ****** ****** ***) which is provided by cxLoyalty, Inc on June 14th 2023. According to the U.S Department of Transportation, customers are allowed to cancel or change their flight free of charge without service fees during this free cancellation period* **************************************************24hour-reservation ******* policy explicitly allows a customer to cancel or change any ticket within this free cancellation / change period which for ******* tickets is until 23:59PM EST the date of the flight booking. I should have had the right to cancel my flight for free within the free cancellation period. However, when attempted multiple times over hours to cancel for free so I could rebook the flight that I actually needed, I was proudly distressed to discover that the "systems were down" and I attempted for hours to cancel or change the ticket through ***** Travel. However, it was impossible and I was NOT ALLOWED to cancel the ticket for free within my rightful 24 hour free cancellation period. I tried for over two hours on the ***** Travel web site to cancel it starting around 20:00PM EST. I am attaching screenshots of the types of errors I encountered. This was NOT a problem on my end. As I tried multiple devices, multiple browsers, and multiple Internet connections. No matter what I tried it didn't work. I was also simultaneously trying to make the free cancellation / change through the ***** app. The same thing with being NOT ALLOWED to make my rightful free change. I was becoming worried that it was close to the deadline so I tried calling ***** Travel on the phone around 23:30PM EST at phone number ###-###-####. I still had 30 minutes to make the necessary free change or cancellation. I was planning to cancel the ticket free of charge and book the "Main Cabin" class ticket instead of the original "Basic Economy."Business Response
