I used my Chase Freedom to buy tickets on Allegiantair.com, which ran about 200 bucks. On the statement it said I earned - 200 points. Hmm, not the 1,000 I was expecting with this quarter being 5% on airlines and hotels. I called customer service about the missing 800 points and the rep took a look.
Did I register this quarter was the first question. "Yep, it sure looks like you did," she said.
"That's weird." she continued. "How about I just manually put an extra 3,000 points in your account, that ought to make things better!"
Starting Score: 690

shame on her for not knowing the rules.
good for you for getting free money =)
the rules states you get the 5% only if you buy directly from the airlines/hotels.
so using 3rd party sites like expedia/travelocity/allegiantair do not count towards the 5%

Umm, Allegiant Air is the name of the airline. Allegiantair.com is its official website. I bought directly from the airline.
Shame on you for not knowing your smaller airlines

ive travelled to most major cities and have never heard of such airline.

they are a really small underdog.
i retract my statement and glad you got your points.
