You may be right but you are also wasting your time. Why would you think that an airline would pay attention to your request? They make their mind up, that's it. Unless you are booted off a plane and have a media story to press your case, you will get zero traction by continuing to harass the customer service reps.

P.S. This is a good example of the type of customer service we have come to expect at UA since the CO merger and system integration. Get used to it if you actually plan to fly UA.

P.P.S. If you had actually bought $50k worth of tickets I could understand your frustration. But at this point you have $0 loyalty to reward, and certainly don't deserve GS any more than a real 1K who has earned it with BIS miles. So accept the very nice gift of status that you have received - or fly elsewhere. No sympathy here.
