Your temporary credit card number is [redacted] and your security code (CVV) is ***Please save this information, as you will need it complete your purchase." I am only asking for what was promised to me when I applied for the credit cardi was very dissatisfied that the customer service representative dismissed me as if it was my fault that the credit card you advertised on your website that could be used was in fact not trueAnd now you are doing the sameI would not have applied for the credit card if I had known that it would not have been applied to the $I spent on the flightsI am due a credit of at least $and probably some more for the extra time I had/have to waste on filing this complaintYou are not providing your consumers what you promised on your website Sincerely, [redacted]

Dear Ms. ***, The RevDex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to your nonrefundable tickets. I appreciate this opportunity to respond to your concerns. I found that you booked a ticket on March 12, 2015, for travel on November 25, and you purchased trip insurance... with [redacted] . Recently, you needed to cancel the trip due to a death in the family. You believe that travel insurance you purchased should cover the refund of the ticket. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Orbitz has confirmed your reservation history in our website logs, as well as the underlying airline reservation system. We have confirmed that the flight was booked correctly, with the terms and conditions of the ticket along with the insurance policy explaining the reasons for a refund presented. Orbitz, as with any travel agency, is required to apply the fares at the exact moment of your booking. The ticket was sold with the understanding that the fare was non-refundable and certain restrictions apply. As a distributor of tickets for the airline, we do not have authorization to refund non-refundable tickets. Non-refundable ticket rules include airline waivers only in the event of the death of the traveler or spouse; this policy is consistent throughout the airline industry, and the same rules would apply if you had booked the ticket directly from the airline or another travel agency. Ms. ***, because [redacted] is a third party vendor, you will need to contact them directly to process your claim. You can find the information to process a claim at [redacted] travelinsurance.com and go to the "file a claim tab". Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your business, and we hope you will provide us with a future opportunity to restore your confidence in our products and services. Sincerely, [redacted] Orbitz Customer Relations Chicago, IL
