I received an email from PenFed yesterday with my rewards points balance (8,800). Today I went to the website to redeem the points for a gift card and noticed I had waaaaaaaaaaay too many points (18,800)!
I hadn't checked my CC account for a couple of days and during that time about $13,000 in United Airlines tickets and what looks like luggage fees had been charged to my account.
I immediately called PenFed to report the fraud. The representative was just as surprised as I was that no fraud warning had been tripped when $3,000 in airline tickets was charged on 7/28, $5,200 in airline tickets charged on 7/29, and $4,500 in airline tickets and luggage fees(?) charged on 7/30. The largest single charge I've made in the last year is about $1,500.
It would be interesting to know the destination of the travelers. PenFed seemed to accept the charges were not mine so I'm assuming the charges will be reversed as soon as I sign some paperwork.
