HUCA tips:

1) To avoid being told "You already called about this and were told no". The trick is to call about other things in the middle, so when the rep looks at the notes of the last few calls it's other stuff.

2) To avoid speaking to the same rep you just spoke to. The trick is to use 2 phones, so when the tzaddik answers, you quickly call on the other line and ensure you get a different one.

It's like people who spend 30 minutes finding and stacking coupons/portals etc on a $10 purchase to save 50 cents. For some people it's a lifestyle 
I always say, "be busy making money not saving money "
money doesn't talk......      it SCREAMS !

A penny saved is a penny earned.
I'm not who you think I am.

Not sure I would call anything a success after calling 39 times.  :)

If it was a $10k phone call, even if each call was 20 minutes it would still be $770 an hour. In this case, assuming there was 160 AA at stake valued at 1.4, that's $170 an hour. Depends on your perspective and what's at stake.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Imagine you're trying to get your childhood sweetheart to say "yes".
You gave up before the 39th HUCA ? :)

You'd probably have a restraining order before you're done.

Walmart 2day shipping, I mean 5 day shipping refund..

 It's the normal btw for the shipping to take 5 days so the first offer is can I give you 10% back?
 Might be gezel, I called once and asked about my order and she didn't really speak English so had to disconnect the call but before hanging up she went and offered me 10% Off after waiting on hold for 5 min.
 I recalled again and had a rep who understood English and asked about my order if all shipped? And she offered the same 10%, am I suppose to expect 20%? Or its gezel to take both discounts?!

(Basically 10% Coupon for items shipped and sold by walmart, almost like the amazon move promo! Lol)

Happened a couple of months ago but still feel great about it:

Transferred UR>UA in order to book TLV-ZRH-JFK in J for 3 pax (UA.com was showing as available) but turns out it was phantom. Took about 7 HUCAs but finally got a supervisor to open up 3 seats in J on the direct TLV-EWR at saver rate. Oh, and it's for motzei succos, probably the most popular time of year for that flight.

How did you get them to do that? What did you tell them ?

They have an option to open saver award ?

Supervisors do. It has to do with phantom availability.
