The link you gave, does have a page subject: "Complaints, compliments and suggestions".

Did you submit something like that, or did you submit an "operational" item ?

I submitted complaints and left a online message to tell the whole story.
Basically, it is the same function to write CX an email. CX just organizes these messages by cataloging the subjects .

Rather harsh Jack - Have you tried calling any other airlines most are much worse than is Cathay

Not only it impossible to call and speak as a diamond member to customer service, they even want to charge you 15 USD to hold the fare. So many reason to give up on this airline and stick with an airline thats based in your own country and forget HKG as a hub. They used to make it worthwhile but nonw the benefits are on in the Execs pockets not the customers experience.

I contacted CX's WhatsApp at 1659 HKT today, and I finally got an reply at 2051 HKT. The last time I used the WhatsApp service before that was on 24 Dec 21, and I never got a reply from them.

I was texting them to claim the long-missing miles and status points, after not hearing from CX after multiple claims on their glitchy web form. Guess what? The CX agent on WhatsApp told me to send an email to [email protected]! I'm becoming less optimistic about the whole claim thing. :(

How do you now submit a manual missing mileage claims then...

I first tried through the webform but it wouldn't accept Omaha as a destination for an AA flight from LGA so I couldn't do it that way.
So I did it through whatsapp. It took three attempts before anyone answered and asked for proof of the itinerary and boarding pass. But once they did, ten days later the points and miles were credited.

P.S. finally credited yesterday. The May submission responded to above was by feedback form, not email:
