Wish I knew what the reimbursement details were, given I'd already received my 1K credentials listing the fee reimbursement as a benefit, but if I don't get reimbursed I'll live.
Called the new "elite line" yesterday and after hunting around for the right number to punch, getting disconnected, then transferred to the International desk (?), I still don't know. The best the person on the other end of the line ( who was clearly in a "different area code") could say is that I would be reimbursed sometime in April, May or June. He was unable to tell me if I needed to apply, submit an expense, how the payment would be made or any further information. Another log on the fire for me with complete dissatisfaction with this merger so far. The list is getting longer....
