Is this legit?
« on: February 18, 2013, 11:32:59 PM »
Hi Please tell me if this sound legit or someone is pulling my leg
I sold a Chase United Club Pass.
I took it straight from a friend's Chase envelope.
The Buyer just sent me the following message:
This card number was already used. They (united) destroyed it in front of me at counter at LAX pres club. I'm not going to hassle to pursue refund or anything but wanted to let you know that it was pretty irritating and embarrassing.
I never heard of them checking and they always take it from you!
Furthermore this one was actually a clean card?
Anyone have a similar experience??

Was it sold on DDF or E-bay / Craigslist?

Why don't you think he's trying to take advantage of you?

IME (I just used two passes myself) they do not look anything up. They just ask you to fill out your name.

Better yet, tell the guy United has no business doing that and that HE should call up to complain about the rep.


"Wow, that's awful, what a crazy United exp you had. Sorry that happened to you, I'd def call United to complain if I were you."

The end.

That was my understanding. where did you use it?

Wasn't planning on it. just checking  :-\

I was gonna do something similar but I think it may be smarter to just ignore him.  :-\ :-\

from my experiences on ebay you will soon get a negative feedback. play his book by his rule, say you are sorry and will send a new one out but you are only getting a new one on 2 weeks does he mind waiting.. keep pushing it off until the feedback window expires
It's what is on the outside that matters

1) He already left good feedback
2) good feedback is not worth a new card.
I have alot I can afford some neg.
3) If he files a claim he will win because Ebay always sides with the buyer

You're not 100% sure he is though. I still think my approach is the best at the moment.
