It was immensely frustrating to have to deal with that nonsense, but it is definitely better to stay calm and each time restate your case. Expressions of disappointment or anger probably do not make the process move any more smoothly.

I have, with all of my retrocredits, not yet been able to figure out whether submitting an online claim form or going through the online chat is the more efficient way of getting something done. The results seem to swing in different directions.
But the question remains whether it is even worth our time and energy to ultimately get credited for that which we are entitled. Life is short and there are plenty of other things to worry about which might be more important than airline status.
