"You should speak to tech, or pay me $30 + tax to book"

Tried to book on aeroplan site. (when you try to book travel only)
Message has read for many hours:

Called an agent and she said, "You should speak to tech, or pay me $30 + tax to book" -- never ending up booking as my time was up and she did not want to repeat the itin again. "That will be $30 + tax for my time and $496 for taxes"...no thank you -- I am sure the IT boys will get things up and running
and I can actually see my itin. OH air kaNAda...

I'm on now and getting the same message

I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that IT is "fixing" the stealth promo

Whitey.

Btw, sounds like you felt a bit of attitude.

I think the AC Excs are doing the math to see if they need to run the promo (glitch) little longer

No need for these execs to do it as I've *ahem* already done it for them and it's a resounding, fist-pounding "yes"; continue for another week or so and don't forget to open up inventory!

It may be a longshot or just plain coincidence, but on Sunday, I was also getting tons of errors with one booking. I was using IE8. When I switched to Chrome, the overall experience was so much faster and was able to complete my booking in one try. So maybe the cookies were messed up or something else, but you may want to try a different browser.
