I was also told there was no record of it ever having been $159, for what it's worth. Of course, they could not replicate the internet only fare at the airport, and calling the res number only yielded a busy signal. So we were stuck with the $210, for an after discount savings of $25. Is there any way I can use these discounts in conjunction with an internet only fare, or is it off to CC with them?
I call those the, "Gee-we're-sorry-we-inconvenienced-you-now-we're-really-going-to-make-you're-life-a-living-he!!-to-make-up-for-our-screw-up" certificates. Pretty frustrating huh? The question is... are they more frustrating to use than the initial event when you received them? My answer is usually yes.
Sorry so cynical.
