At the time, the baggage services team were pretty proactive about it, calling me with updates. They told me to purchase whatever I needed and send them the original receipts for reimbursement. I did that, and haven't heard form them since then. I started calling a few days ago to check on the status of the reimbursement check. I started with Twitter, who initially only gave me the Central Baggage Services Team number: 800-535-5225. Then they said they would send all the info to them and keep me updated - nothing happened there either.

BY phone, Central Baggage Services only says that the bag was delivered. I am not disputing that - I did receive it almost two days later. But they basically keep saying "the check is in the mail."

How can I escalate this and actually get the promised check? Twitter and 800-535-5225 are worthless. I am feeling jerked around, and, per their request, they have all my original receipts (although I do have copies.)
I am having the exact same issue. I was never told the check is in the mail however.

Today twitter DM told me to call that 800 number, when I finally got past the automated maze a person on 1-800-535-5225 informed me that I really needed to be calling 1-480-693-2191 which dead-ends at a sometimes full voicemail box.

I have emailed [email protected] again and left voicemails at the 480 number. If I don't get a followup by next week I'll file with D.O.T.
