[MENTION=224342]HerpaYvr[/MENTION] & I spent 2 hours x 3 nights (6 hours total) trying to complete a MR booking with multiple different dates and probably 20 SE Concierge agents (using his access) before finally tonight a rep mentioned that there's a bug that IT Is working on but there's no ETA on a fix. So we're pausing trying to complete it until sometime next week with the hope that it gets resolved then.
So I guess two potential takeaways for this group:
1) if it appears to be broken.. it is... Might need to give it a few days before you can complete bookings as intended. Eups for our domestic legs were able to clear but on international despite it saying available (in booking pages, and then also eup dashboard with green check), would then get put into waitlisted
2) please call in and complain (ideally with SE line) - the more ppl who are complaining the more pressure on IT, and higher urgency to get it fixed.
I'm not holding out hope that anyone will work on it over this long weekend but hopefully we can get resolution by early next week as this is super frustrating...
Thanks..
This bug is more than a year old, or at least variations of the bug. I've mentioned it before. A year back you could find sympathetic agents who would collect the proof and push the upgrades thru manually, but nowadays this is much harder, they declare it "impossible" or "not allowed", with words like "the web site is just advisory", and I've said things like "my provision of payment was just advisory, I'll cancel the ticket", and sometimes an agent can then push the upgrade... they seem to always make notes of these conversations, because HUCA doesn't seem very effective.
Twice, I have validated R1 before booking, then re-validated R1 mere moments before pushing the eupgrade button. Then it waitlists and goes to R0. Frustrating.
