So, I called this past Friday to attach it to a reservation and the agent said my original cert had expired and she couldn't extended it. I waited for an hour to be connected to a supervisor, but then had to hang up.
Planning to call back on Monday but thought I'll pick on the collective wisdom of FT here - am I SOL?
That’s really too bad. Sounds like you hit a bad agent as there are reports in the first few pages of this thread that certs were being extended by a year in early Sept by virtue of being reissued. You may very well be SOL, but it’s certainly worth a phone call or 3 given the chaos of Aug/Sept. You might hit a sympathetic agent or supervisor.

Good luck.
