Telling someone they suck does not normally get you on the A list

As they are not able to pre-production test their tools, as they don't even have a 24/24 team on this issue... i guess even them do not know when their system will be funtionning. It's a real case for business schools of a total lake of management, communication and IT. Berezina...

Plus, as I am sure you're aware, even if one does have an extensive test environment, a flawless result is not always guaranteed. Also there are things that simply cannot be tested beforehand with reasonable costs. Things just go different than planned sometimes. Thats how the game works. And lets be honest - we are talking about a loyalty program here, not some kind of critical environment. A few days of downtime is not going to hurt anybody.

Okay I think your message is clear. Lets give them some time to figure things out

Loyalty program is the same as love story : only love proofs count... words are just words... It's an important part of you CS in this competitive business.
Indeed, not a big deal,but my case, it changed a little bit my plans for booking december flights (wanted some rewards, upgrade, etc).
