Did I ever say the OP "deliberately ingnored" United's e-mails? No. Once again you are putting your spin on this and mis-quoting me to make me sound bad. All I said was perhaps there was an e-mail that was missed or dismissed as advertising/junk. It's happened to me before. I was shopping with a friend at PetSmart. When he went to check out he presented a coupon which he printed at home from and e-mail he received from PetSmart. I didn't recall receiving the same offer even though I was signed up to receive them. Sure enough when I got home and checked my e-mail there it was! I had completely missed it and missed out on $5 off my pet food. Bummer, but stuff happens. Couldn't the same have happened in both this case and the other you cite, jimworcs?

Let's just be logical about this for a moment. He had the same e-mail address. He received both his purchase confirmation and the 24 hour notice to check-in. Doesn't it stand to reason that any other e-mail correspondence about this itinerary would have gone to the very same e-mail address? This fact plus knowing that UA does send out e-mail notification of schdule changes (it's an automated process) would lead a reasonably intelligent person to conclude that there just might be a possibility that the e-mail was missed. Of course the fact remains that there might not have been an e-mail at all, but the odds of the human error of missing or dismissing the e-mail are much greater than those of an automated notification process completely failing.

[/indent]All these lying customers... if only the world was full of people like you eh PHX? Always checks ahead, sends his luggage via FedEx so when he is having drinks with the CEO he can snigger at the gullable fools who spend their money at the airline and expect the service they paid for to be delivered! Such fools.. don't they know how people like us get rich!
Again, "lying customers." Where did I say or even imply that. If the OP really believes he did not receive an e-mail then he isn't lying. He's just going on that assumption even though it may not be true.

Always checks ahead...yes you'd better believe it. An experinced and prudent traveler does check on itineraries especially those booked far in advance. I also set up notifications for any changes, delays or cancellations to be sent to my cellphone. The tools are there however some people still refuse to use them.

I never said I sent my luggage via FedEx. However I do send ahead those things I know are crucial to the trip. I can live with the clothes on my back and the single change of clothing I pack in my carryon if my checked luggage is delayed however I can be rest assured that the essentials I send ahead by FedEx will be waiting at the hotel when I check in.
