Calling by phone does not seem to be an option, the one time I was lucky enough to talk to a human being was just told "sorry, I cannot do anything differently".

So anyone still running into this issue? How did you cope with it? Would be nice to know if UA can really not execute transactions with certain financial institutions, or whether their problem does not have anything to do with the cards ...

Switching to AA/DL is becoming very attractive but would still give UA a chance if they manage to get me a ticket ... Really I don't have all this time to spend on the phone...
