Global Services email going into black hole

I've sent a few emails to the GS email address in the last few weeks. Normally, I get an automated acknowledgment right away and then a human response in few days. Now I'm getting nothing. Anyone else having this problem?

I’ve noticed this with 1kvoice as well. I was wondering if they are transitioning to a new CRM or something and the transition isn’t going smoothly.

Or they are just “enhancing” the email part of the customer experience.

The reality is that UA routes according to status, no matter which portal entry you use. You can be a general member and send to GS and it will route to the "nobody desk" or a GS and use the "nobody" email and it will route to GS (which is essentially a priority queue to a more senior agent).

I sent a note complimenting the service on a recent flight. Got a human response in 4 days.

I always get a good and clear response when I submit a compliment.Got left behind a while back with an early departure , sent in a note but got nothing back
I am not happy at all with the GS "service" response level at the moment too inconsistent.

I complained to GS earlier this week about there not being any seats in the PHX UC for the 3 time in 2 months. Got a reply back the following day along with another reply from a director with UC two days later. original email was sent to GS email address.

We're talking emails not webform submissions. 1K and GS emails go to separate email addresses

I cant see how that is reverent (if it is even true with respect to emails) and it doesn't remotely answer the OP's question, a GS member asking about response time to emails to the non-public GS email address.

I always use the web form and get a response pretty quickly. More secure anyway.

Interesting question: do you think a web form entry from a GS member goes to the same place as an email to the GS email address?

I think I've always gotten a response from the web form; whereas the GS email has been about 70%. That might just be coincidental, though. Incidentally, clicking the box to have GS contact me at the end of the survey is the worst -- maybe 30% response. You'd think United would pay more attention to what are supposed to be their best customers.

Calling is the quickest way with GS. That's been the case for a number of years

If you want reimbursement for a hotel or something like that, calling won't work.
