And then I get a total moron agent who wasted an hour of my time last night but its my fault in part b/c I could tell he was clueless but I stayed on with him. Only to find today nothing he said was done really was done.
All I wanted to do was switch a SIN-SYD to SIN-MEL award. Same 40K miles. Taxes maybe off by a few dollars. Why cant their system just switch it and credit the few bucks in taxes and be done. Its ridiculous they have to cancel the first and redeposit miles and then do a whole separate ticketing of the other.
That aside, you cant do anything on their site with miles how you can with DL & UA. Sometimes with AA they get redeposited and sometimes they dont.
This agent was so incompetent. I am starting all over today.
My recent plead to Mr. Costcutter....
Mr. Isom,
I am writing to you to simply ask that your IT and Marketing departments have the capability to support your new Loyalty Program. In just the last 30 days I have experienced 3 instances where either service was denied or miles/LPs denied.
Attempts to call or use your website to rectify have met with hang ups, no responses, or attempted customer blaming.
I like your new program and I hope you can match it up with the support it deserves.
