Anyone notice this?
« on: July 23, 2012, 04:42:31 PM »
I wanted to visit united.com today, but I accidentally typed untied.com

Turns out, that site looks exactly like United.com, but it's dedicated to bashing everything about United.

I wonder if this is new or if it has been around for a while...

And by the way, I'm a united fan!
I just got a $150 certificate to compensate a 1/2 hour 'scheduled' delay on a domestic award trip!
And that's even though they notified me about the delay 2 months prior to travel!
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

I filed a complaint that I had inconvenience canceling the big party I arranged for my friends and family.
I created a thread in the 'up in the air' board asking advise how to suck them after they notified me of the change. Nobody offered any idea, so I HUCA, used my wonderful imagination, and.... Yala!
Couldn't find the thread, maybe JEWDA can direct.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Here's the first one:
From: CustomerCare@united.com
To: xxxxxxxxxx

Subj: Re: Other
(xxxxxxxxxx)
Dear Mr. Xxxxxxxxx:
Thank you for contacting United
Airlines.
I am sorry we were unable to respond
to your request sooner.  The merger
of United and Continental Airlines has
been a successful one, but there
have certainly been challenges.
An airline merger of this size has never
been accomplished before now.
Some facets of our airline may be
different, but our fundamental
commitment to our valued customers
has never wavered.  Please be assured
we do understand your concerns, and
they have been documented for
review
and appropriate internal action.
Please visit us online at
www.united.com as additional travel
needs
arise.
While my reply is brief and not as
detailed as I would like, I want you
to know I very much appreciate your
business.  To thank you for your
patience and loyalty, we are sending
an electronic travel certificate to
you under separate cover.  You will
receive the travel certificate
within the next three business days.
We are building an airline that will
earn your confidence and approval,
and we look forward to welcoming you
on board your next United Airlines
flight.
Sincerely,
Dan Thompson
Senior Manager
