Puzzled on fare on AA paid with gift cards

[Suzie]

I purchased two $297 r/t tickets (total of $594) on AA using $600 worth of AA gift cards from Amex travel credits. I then purchased 4 seat assignments (2 people x 2 legs) paying on an AA Plat for a total of $48.

My email receipt shows:



When I went onto AA to view the flights, it shows this (purchased seats included):



I can't figure it out. Any thoughts? Am I missing something? Did the price change from the time I purchased to the actual ticketing? This is my first time using AA gc's - is it something to do with the gc?

The charge for the seats shows on my AA Plat.

Checking balances on all gc's used - one has a balance of $9.69 - which would be correct in first scenario.

Any insight?

Strange, but..... congrats!?

edit - I see you said they charged you the higher amount. I'm stumped.

I was hoping to find a bigger balance on one of the gc's - but no.

Trying to decide if I should call AA - seems like trying to explain this could be a nightmare phone call.

I didn't get charged more - so that's not an issue, but if I'm due $$ - I'd like to have it!
