I have been a Barclaycard US customer since XX/XX/XXXX, carrying their then-XXXX mastercard. When the card switched to the AAdvantage card in XXXX 2015 due to the XXXX Airways/XXXX XXXX merger, I was informed by mailer that my annual benefit ( associated with an {$89.00} annual fee ) of XXXX companion airline tickets would not be continued. I called the card issuer XX/XX/XXXX to see if this benefit could be extended, and if not, to cancel this credit card. The agent I spoke with told me that I would in fact be issued XXXX companion certificates, and she even offered to wave my annual fee as an added incentive to keep my business. My annual fee was in fact waved, but I was never issued the companion airline tickets ( approx redemption value {$800.00} ). When I called today, I was informed that I would never be issued these benefit tickets, essentially that my business had been retained by making false statements. Without the assurance that my benefit of XXXX annual companion airline tickets, I would have canceled my credit card and sought an alternative provider. The Barclaycard reps that I spoke to today ( XXXX levels of supervisors ) all attempted to sell me more expensive products in some perverse attempt to provide me the earlier-promised benefit, but at a cost to me. As I look to purchase airline tickets for holiday travel for my family, I am now going to have to spend an additional ~ {$800.00} that I otherwise would not have had to spend out of pocket.
