So on around December, i applied for the travelocity amex. The reason I applied was that there was a 10,000 point signup bonus that I could redeem for statement credit. Before I applied, i checked multiple times to make sure it was for statement credit. Anyways, after meeting the guidelines to receive the points, I decided I would redeem them for statement credit today, only to realize I can only redeem for travelocity purchases! They also changed the wording on the site and so forth. Has anyone had this same trouble and were you able to resolve it? (by getting your statement credit!)

I have this card - let me help you clarify - In last year's terms, you were able to get statement credit starting from 5,000 points, which I did and received a credit of $50 off my outstanding credit card balance. The credit is applied instantaneously. As of the beginning of this year, Barclay's changed the terms to apply only to purchases via travelocity, gift cards or merchandise. (Basically, the ability to apply for a statement credit was rescinded in the new year.)

Why not Discover IT?
You'll get 5% on Orbitz, Expedia, Hotwire, Hotels.com thru ShopDiscover.
Can you book a refundable hotel reservation with the points then cancel the reservation? I think the points will give you a credit on your account then
