One more aggravation: Pet Fee (even after cancellation and refund) will preclude receiving the Check-In reminder email 24 hours prior to flight, because on-line check-in is not allowable with a pet. Gotta love this technology
. I wonder what else, that we are unaware of, is affected
.
Thus, repercussions of using pet fee credit on UA (which I've experienced):
- Cannot select exit row seats.
- Will not be eligible for CPU.
- No Check-In reminder email 24 hours prior to flight.
Requires specifically asking a phone agent to correct each of the 3 issues. Unfortunately for me, that ended up being 3 different phone calls, next time I’ll try to remember to do it all in one call. Problem is, it will be a year from now and by then I’ll probably forget all this
, or they will have eliminated the method
.
