- I called the Onepass Service Center about a week after she completed her trip as miles have not been re-deposited. I was told it would be done automatically about 3 weeks after she completed her trip.

- Today, I called OPSC again as it's been more than 3 weeks. The service rep had to talk to a supervisor, and then got back to me saying they could only redeposit 30,000 back as she was cleared for the IAH-EWR segment.

I told her it wasn't how it was explained to me originally, or as confirmed by Mr. O'Leary. So, she transferred me to a supervisor.

The supervisor said the same thing and I again explained, having to use Mr. O'Leary's name again. I was put on hold again, and then she said all 50K miles have been redeposited. I checked and they were.

Now, something's definitely not right here. Were she entitled to all her 50K back or not? I hate having to throw CO Insider's name out everytime I run into problem. Maybe the policy needs to be more openly known throughout the OPSC?

And I don't understand how she comes out with returning 30K to my mom. One way domestic upgrade for a discount economy fare is 15K each way, so that'd mean only returning 20K to her if she wants to interpret the rules that way.

[I have the name of the supervisor. If Scott needs the name, I can provide it by PM.]
Hi rkkwan, sorry to hear this didn't happen automatically and had to be escalated when you called in. Please PM me with your confirmation number, and I'll follow up with our technology group (as to why the miles didn't automatically redeposit) and with our call center group to ensure our front line is reminded of this policy.
