I tried the email listed upthread and was on hold for over 2 hours before giving up and finding the above contact form. Note that their reply email may end up in the spam/junk mail box for whatever reason.

edit: they eventually replied to the email, a bit over a week later. The form was same day.
Yeah, email replies are super delayed

To make things worse, this is the number AC Vacations (hotels?) gives as the number to call DURING travel.

All three of these numbers go to an "out of service" message (not busy, not queue):
866-529-2079
833-752-2210
866-264-7758
800-296-3408

Is this Amadeus fallout or normal for ACV?
This is worse than normal.

Contacted Air Canada, they confirmed and noted on my file the itinerary as eligible, tried to contact Air Canada Vacations back, again 1.5 hours on hold and had to disconnect. Tried the form again last week - no response.

This program is broken. I just booked a hotel on my own dime.
More details on my story, they had to check if I was eligible, then later emailed back saying I was eligible, but that they were full.

Yes, exactly, and not even an option to pay a few dollars to go to a different spot. Very disappointing. My experience with this program is 1 out of 4 now.
