Kindly read my email chain in reverse history and chuckle at the correspondences between myself and CO One Pass shopping, then tell me if you think there's something fishy going on! (or who the onepass shopping mall director is by email, name and tel number)

Comments and similar pains by other FTers are welcomed so we can share experiences and learn more on how to best approach this sort of thing.

However, I will note that I fear that since they have since melded into being a part of MileagePlus shopping, I am possibly doomed here. We all know, from reading the horrors of UA and AA mall issues (both run by Cartera Commerce, who handles many airline malls) that they simply cannot handle their own beast. These miles may never post after all.

1) Responding in the way you did is unlikely to get you any better progress in your efforts to recoup the points. Do you really think that openly insulting the people you need to help you is going to work in your favor??

2) Issues with points not posting from the online mall is hardly a new development and the problems in general are sufficient that I don't even bother trying. Just not worth the hassle. Here are a few more threads of folks who share your pain:
