Just because you don't agree with it does not make it unproductive. I have basis for my opinion through multiple years as CO Elite. You have basis for yours, and you are free to offer or discuss your position as well. After all, this is a discussion board.
The OP asked for advice on what to do. He didn't ask you to repeat your same tired mantra.
The OP asked for comments. He said, "Guilty until proven innocent is the Continental motto. Comments?"
I essentially agreed with this and said it's par for the course with CO. My experience with CO is pretty much in line with this posting.
Your constant belittling of CO probably hurts new posters who truly believe that your rants reflect reality.
It may, or it may save them unnecessary agony. If a company is going to be chintzy and waste your time, and someone with multiple years of Elite experience can reaffirm that for you, then they may realize they could be better off not bothering with the situation. It's up to them.
If you disagree, feel free to post your counter opinions, example, or whatever you'd like. If CO was receptive to handling a similar such situation for you in a simple manner to your satisfaction, by all means, post about it, and how you got it done. It'll certainly help the OP, other posters, and me (the next time CO tries to give me the shaft or runaround, I'd love to know the secret password).
Thank god I know that most times CO will resolve issues to my satisfaction.
I wish I had that comfort level with CO. Unfortunately, the fiery hoops they've put in my way to resolve issues have been excessive, and I cannot say I have the same level of faith in them. That's not to say they won't make it right in the end -- they just have a history of not making it easy on me to get to that end, which is why I don't partake in the CO lovefest that so often permeates this board.
