The P Club manager didn't even look into her record.

Lousy service is an understatement... The letter to Customer Service will go out...
I trust you got the rude PC Manager's name and will be filing a complaint in that regard, as well? From hearing what you've said, the level of service your wife received on this trip was completely unacceptable. Please let us know what sort of response you get back from CO. Also, though common sense generally indicates it, the keys to a good compensation letter are:

1. Brevity (outlining the relevant facts succinctly and in a straightforward fashion)
2. Politeness (I suspect the angry diatribes just get shredded, or passed around for a laugh)
3. (Optional) - Suggest a reasonable response by CO (compensation or otherwise) that would best address your concerns.
