I did'nt mean to confuse who should have gotten the payout. I was slightly miffed before and after my run in, (the reason why I posted) but did not really push because, I knew I was still receiving my half of the hand pay and for tax reasons, it will work out better anyway. I'm pulling the card if it is not mine next time! I agree that the attendant was wrong and I should have/could have contested their actions if needed. I'll still go back as one bad egg will not ruin the entire bunch. (After this last AC trip, I did receive a mailing that said"after 1-18-2011 all earned Cash Back will have an expiration date of 30 days moving forward." (one more bad egg!))
