Been extremely rude to Aeroplan CSR on the phone

It's not the first time and you didn't bother to check this time? Hmmm. Fool me once...

It's possible you have too much attitude and brought a lot of this on yourself. There is no excuse for incivility.
Maybe try telling us why this particular promotion constituted deceit - "intentionally misleading customers" - to see if any others fell into the trap or it was just you. |
Been extremely rude to Aeroplan CSR on the phone
So because you didn't read the details, thats an excuse to Yell and be Disrespectful to the person who answers the phone? I had one rule many years ago when I worked in customer service - yell and curse the company all you want but the moment you take it to a personal level - its ON! I hope she yelled and screamed and disrespected you right back since in my book she had every right to.
I'm sorry but while I highly disagree with hiding behind the fine print it's a buyer beware world out there. If you want to take part in a promo or similar YOU are ultimately responsible for knowing what you're getting involved in. With all that said I agree that those catches need to be more accessible and worded in such a manner as most people can truly understand it and companies who refuse or try to skirt around it should be hung by their proverbial toes! |
It's intolerable to be rude. As OP himself points out, the CSR doesn't make the rules.
If it's happened once, it may have happened before. Some businesses, including other carriers, fire customers when they get to be too much of a problem. I can't say what AC does. |

I do not regret doing that. I think it's deplorable. And yes, I know that it was not the lady's fault - however, in the absense of other ways to let the management of the company know, I will continue yelling and being disrespectful. If they want to talk like descent people do - let's talk, but let's not BS each other. First of all, I want them to admit that they've been cheating and intentially misleading customers - then I'd apologise to the lady. And it is spelled "decent." |
Story reminds of the idiot that filmed himself yelling at the drive through lady at Chick Fil A -- he even managed to make her cry.... perhaps next time.
Whatever you think of AC's promotions the CSR is not responsible for them and doens't deserve anyone's anger. What exactly was so deceptive and misleading that it justified treating others like garbage? |

This time AmEx was still mentionned as one of the partners - however, they decided to exclude US cards specifically. I'm sure it was because there are too many Aeroplan members having those cards - can you think of a better explanation?... Anyway, the note about exclusion of US cards was not on the e-mail I received - and not on the webpage I opened from that e-mail - but on another webpage... Or at least that's how they say - there's no way to check it now, as the promotion has expired and no longer available.
Because we can cue the stereotype about the rude, classless American yelling at the poor AC CSR right about now...:rolleyes: |

I do not regret doing that. I hope the agent that you decided to berate took the time to add some notes to your Aeroplan profile so all future agents know what they are dealing with. |
