When I get an email from CheapOair, it is typically by a representative new to me, as if the case is being passed ever onward. Is it a delaying tactic, incompetence, or for some reason yet to be revealed. I try to keep the exchanges via email so there is a trail of some sort. Here is the most recent email exchange (Jan. 29, 2014 - you'll note I'me getting grumpy in my reply):
From Kimberly Zapala of CheapOair:
Dear Richard,
My name is Kimberly from CheapOair. I am working with the airline to get the fees refunded. I am in need of the medical documents that stated that you have that shows you needed to return early. I am working diligently to get this done as fast as I can but the airline needs the documents to make any decision on this. Once you send them via reply to my email I will let you know that I got them and will then send to the airline,
I thank you for your patience on this and kindly ask for your prompt response.
Warm regards,
Kimberly Zapala

My Reply:
The airline (US Airways) already received and evaluated the medical documentation which I sent to them. They then refunded the money to you (CheapOair). I have, in prior emails, twice sent you the bank transaction numbers verifying the US Airways refund to you. So what you are requesting has already been done. Don't you keep a file on this case?
From the outside, this looks like either
- another delaying tactic by CheapOair
