+1. Not sure if this will work if an itinerary gets held because an invalid CC is entered too many times.
I've also had success with the secure message center. I booked one ticket entirely over the phone, then wrote to Chase saying "the ticket I wanted was impossible to build online (H outbound, W return)" and got EQMs.
