      I'm trying to use my Air Mile points for a booking. Tried twice on line. I put in dates, times, location etc, and it just takes me to a reset option. When I call, I get put on hold, then finally a message comes on asking me to book a call back time. I've done that twice, and of course no one calls back. ************ For what it's worth here is my collector card number ***********. Thanks

      My collector # is ***********. Due to health reasons, I was out of the country for a couple of years and I lost all my air miles that I accumulated. I contacted customer service last month and was told that I had almost 2,500 Air miles that were lost due to inactivity. I explained to them the situation and they offered me only 200 miles as a goodwill gesture. I told the rep I wasn't happy with that and would like to escalate. he said there is no way to escalate and that there is nothing else that could be done. I found a phone number for the office of the president and called them 2 weeks ago and left them a voice message. no answer yet. left another message last week and no response yet. I called customer service today and after a 2 and 1/2 hour wait on the phone and explaining the situation nicely the rep, she disconnected the call. * ** * ******** ****** ** * **** ******* ****** *** ****** ****** ****** *** ***** ****** hope you can help me. thanks.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The company has misunderstood their position. They do not own my Air Miles points, they just keep track of them, and the best comparison is to a bank. Would anyone accept a bank one day deciding to take all the money in an account because the customer did not spend it? The points I collected are from money I spent last 20 years. While I could have bought more things 15 years ago, I decided to save them for later. ** ****** ****** ******* ** ********** *** ****** **** **** ***** ****** **** *** ** ***** **** **** ***** *** **** **** ** *********** ******* The company took all my points, and then during a phone call, offered to return some of the points to my account. And if I want the rest, I have to pay $0.15 per point. ** ** **** * ****** ******* ****** ** **** ****** *** ****** *** **** ***** *** **** ***** ******** ** ****** **** ** *** ** ** *** *********** **** * *** ** * ****** ******* **** *** ******* ******* *** ********** **** ** ************ ** **** **** ******* **** ***** **** ******* ** ******* ** ***** *** ****** *** ****** ****** **** ** **** ** * ********** *** ***** *** ******** **** *** **** *** **** ***** ** ** ******* **** **** ******* * ***** **** **** ** *** ****** * ***** ****** ****** ** *** **** ***** *** **** ****** **** ** *** **** **** ****** ** **** ******** * **** *** *** **** ** ** *** ***** * *** ****** ***** ***** * ************ ******** My final answer is that they must put back all my points *** *** **** ******* ** ******* ** ******
