Problem Solved from page 6

Rage from page 9 one you ordered -- it has less memory and is significantly slower.

The gift card refund is confusing to me, and chances are, it was also confusing to the representatives you called.

I noticed you also paid with your Amazon-branded card, so permit me a quick sidebar. Credit cards and gift cards can be useful tools when you’re making a purchase. But ultimately, they exist because they benefit the company. When you pay with your Amazon card, the company earns money from late fees and interest. And when it pays you with gift card credit, or “Bezos Pesos,” as my kids like to call it, the company never has to pay you real money.

If you could rewind to the moment you discovered the wrong order, I think you should have turned down the gift card offer and simply returned the item.

My consumer advocacy organization has historically received few complaints about Amazon, but they have started to pick up in recent months. That is cause for concern. You might have appealed this to one of the Amazon customer service contacts I publish on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org. Using the Elliott Method of sending a brief, polite email to one of the managers might have quickly reversed this problem.

I shared the Amazon executive contacts with you, and you reached out to one of them in writing. Unfortunately, Amazon did not respond, so I contacted the company on your behalf.

Amazon issued the promised refund and gave you a $25 gift card for the trouble. “They’ve also informed me that they started an internal investigation into the error with my order,” you noted. Hopefully, this will not happen again. But if it does, I will be here to help.

How to handle a delay when it happens this summer

Instead of getting mad like everyone else this summer, there are steps you can take to get to your destination.

First, don’t wait for someone to solve the problem for you.

“As soon as you find out about the cancellation, get in line at the customer service desk or reach out to them over the phone,” advises Pallavi Sadekar, head of operations at VisitorGuard.com. At the same time, try contacting the airline through social media or on its app. The sooner you let an airline know that you’re waiting to get to your destination, the better your chances of getting rebooked on a new flight.

Also, get creative.That’s the advice of Karen Villano, a gate agent for a major airline. “Always try to go standby on another flight,” she advises. (Pro tip: Ask to “be protected” on an alternate flight.) “You might get on, especially if it is due to weather. Many other travelers may not make it to the hub, and flights go out with empty seats.”

Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you booked through an online travel agency like Expedia, call the company and ask for help. If you bought your tickets through a human travel advisor, you have an ally on your side who can help you get through a delay. And don’t leave home without travel insurance this summer. If you have coverage, you can get reimbursed for your hotel and other expenses related to your delay.

What’s the fix for delay rage?

You probably expect me to say that being level-headed and polite is the cure for delay rage. It helps, but it won’t fix it.

Airline passengers have been polite enough, thank you very much. They gritted their teeth during the pandemic while airlines canceled flights, pocketed billions of taxpayer dollars and then tried to keep the money passengers spent on tickets. Now airlines are serving up another summer filled with delays and substandard service.

The solution is to send a firm mes- sage to airlines that experience one delay after another: No more.

“Rage will only subside when passengers are treated decently,” says William McGee, a senior fellow for aviation at the American Economic Liberties Project.

He says it’s time for the government to regulate customer service in a meaningful way, which could include European-style requirements to compensate passengers for delays.

He makes a valid point. Maybe you can’t get even with an airline at the ticket counter. But you can at the ballot box, by voting for representatives who will finally hold airlines accountable.

Lyle,

Great job on “The Blue People” story you wrote (7-20-23 issue! First time I ever read about this! The Paper Weekly Magazine continues to bring the most unique news stories to the North County coastal and inland regions! You’re not a newspaper, you’re something entirely different, fresher, and better! At our large work facility, we don’t read these other small “village newspapers” in North County, except for “The Coast News -- Inland Edition” (superb!) and of course your publication The Paper (and NY Times & SD Union-Tribune digital news). Also, your writer Friedrich Gomez is a phenomenon with some of his stories going viral, even on some radio chat shows! Lyle E. Davis, you’re one in a gazillion!
