How long for an ETC?
I searched but could not find anything, though I'm sure a thread exists.
How long does it take CO to mail you an ETC. My father was set to fly up to IAH on Monday morning back in July (7/14) but the flight was overbooked (F and Y, he was in F--airfcraft substitution) and they asked him to move to an Express flight the previous day (7/13) for $250. He did this but it is now 08/10 and nothing has come in the mail. How much longer should I wait before I e-mail We Care?

Call CO with the details. I usually get my ETC info right when I make the new reservation; they should be able to give you the PIN over the phone.

Thank you. I called CO, the agent didn't give me the PIN number but promised I would receive it in the mail within 5-7 business days.

Maybe because you weren't the traveler, I suppose.

They must have contacted him prior to the flight...note that he moved from a flight on the 14th to one a day earlier. That would be quite a trick at the gate...

No, CO called him at work that afternoon asking if he would leave on the 6:15pm flight that same day instead of the 5:25am flight the next morning. He said yes and agreed to the $200 (my mistake on the earlier post, it was not for $250).
