Here is what we have for you in our final update of the week:
News, Tips & Tricks
Here is our tip of the day:
On our mbna Alaska Airlines MasterCard Review blog
post, we recently received a comment stating that you couldn't use
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles unless you were flying from an Alaska
Airlines hub city. We know this was not correct and weren't sure why
someone from Alaska Airlines would tell the commenter this wrong
information. This is a good example of an agent who may not know all the
rules and tips and tricks of their own program and if this happens to
you, one of the best things you can do is simply to call back and get
another agent. We hear stories on such a frequent basis of the a huge
difference in knowledge of customer service agents that this is one of
the most powerful tools you can have in your pocket. If you have an
agent who doesn't seem to be able to help you, seems to lack knowledge, is indifferent in trying
different routings on award bookings etc. when trying to book reward tickets etc. simply
thank them for their help, hang up and call back. The key is not to be
rude or angry with any of these agents as they can add notes to your
account which may affect the way the next agent will help you.
