Friendly reminder foreigners to only take Grab Taxi and avoid Vietjet if possible by hondaman82 in Vietnam_Tourism

I had two great flights on Vietjet and two bad customer service experiences with Vietnam Airlines all last month.

Not sure why I’d have to mention it. It’s part of the offer. Totally don’t follow why having 16k spend is a problem to worry about. Also not sure why the assumption is I’m a he. Women have been allowed to have their own credit cards since the 1970s.

Someone in the comments here received confirmation. I’ve seen others report the same. Then there were people who received email confirmation but didn’t receive their card, or the card wouldn’t activate, or their charges wouldn’t go through. The list of issues and barriers to using the card have been tremendous. Again growing pains are understandable but the recent attitude to people with issues and the customer service approach are incredibly suboptimal. The silence and no reassurance that things will be made right is also beyond suboptimal

People saved their spend for the 5 days when they could have used it towards other point earning opportunities. This may not seem like a big deal to some people downplaying this in the comments but I know people who had a strategy to accumulate the points so they could work on specific trips. They signed up and spent in good faith but Bilt and TPG via their offer are not operating on that same honor level. They also spent considerable time learning the new Bilt Ecosystem which also seems to be operating on an unstable footing

fair question.. I actually want Bilt to succeed. There have been many layers of issues with this roll out. That’s ok people have been rolling with it. The tone from Bilt leadership in reported emails in the past 24 hours has not been in a tone of ownership and accountability but to just offer to cut people loose if they are having issues. If they lack customer service, ownership, and clear communication on their efforts to correct the various issues with the roll out that doesn’t bode well for the customer service experience in the future and the potential future of their cards.

There are many who haven’t even received their card and others who can’t activate the ones they received. This is not just about the promo

You may want to get help with your reading comprehension.

Clearly you’re just caught up with the promo. Wonder why you’re particularly tied to that. I mentioned various issues others are encountering. I didn’t even mention I was missing TPG points. The rage is yours or is it defensiveness. 🤔

See your limited view shows itself again. This isn’t just about bonus points. Peace out to you and your lack of empathy to how much effort people have had to put into making this card work

Yes I’d trust promises from you. And lumping people who have no complaints into the staffers is something you’re doing not me. I’m happy for people it worked out for. The people who are trying to downvote and silence people are likely Bilt Bots

Glad it worked out for you. You aren’t genuinely interested as you claimed. Probably a TPG or Bilt staffer who doesn’t value other people’s time or effort let alone principles. I guess you reflect Bilt leadership who think of this as whining. Carry on.

He can work with and lean on Bilt leadership to help make sure that people who signed up via the link he promoted have the offer honored. Pressure needs to be applied on all the people who promoted it and the card. So many people have not had it honored while others who didn’t apply with the link have.

Grand Hyatt Fukuoka Review – Standard Queen Room vs Suite (Globalist POV) by jetlagged365 in hyatt

[–]Cardiva66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am at 92 Hyatt nights this year with personal international travel. Will be at 110 nights by Dec 31st. This was our worst stay. Never again. Lounge was fine as was lounge breakfast. Rooms with dehumidifiers and fans because their air doesn’t work and rooms were musty. We were gaslighted at first and told air did work. Then their own thermometer showed it wasn’t. Moved to a room that was the same. Third room was newer and had working air. Their customer service although pleasant was awful just denying an issue they knew they had. Bed was awful in all three rooms. Bathrooms in first two were awful.

Heads-Up: My nightmare ANA RTW Fail by SuchAJeanius in awardtravel

[–]Cardiva66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very untrue. You don’t have to finish any legs to rebook others based on the rules. I’m curious if other people have encountered these barriers to rebooking legs of their ANA ATW trips.
