Already talked with that CSR (and another, and a supervisor...) about having that extended but have hit a wall.

In the past I would've just made a booking, cancelled after 24 hours, and taken the new expiration date - but reading here and elsewhere it doesn't seem like it's that simple now. Are there any foolproof (or near foolproof) methods for securing an ETC extension anymore?
