On the flight, so obviously can't call. Twitter and Facebook still had no responses... so I tried the iMessage text/chat which was completely worthless. After getting thru the bot questions, the rep had absolutely no idea what they were doing.
Even for a simple question like RUC/GUC availability now requires a call in. Depending on the weather the wait times have been pretty bad too.
Hopefully they bring this back soon. The iMessage chat support is garbage.
I've had great success using the text messaging contact us. You get connected right away, no 30+ minute wait. As soon as bot asks what you need help with just say "Rep". The ones I've gotten knew what they were doing.
