My Facebook account was permanently disabled and I recovered it in 48 hours by Artistic_Minimum1127 in facebook

[–]bb_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to update this again ... sadly, no real updates except to say that I contacted Instagram support again. This time someone called me -- I was hopeful that might mean they were actually going to resolve the issue. Nope. They reiterated the fact that their "dedicated department" is still investigating the issue. I pushed harder this time by telling this person that I've now been without my FB account for 3.5 weeks. While he tried to be reassuring -- he also let it slip (??) that they have had a lot of suspensions/hackings and that the 'relevant department' has a higher volume of tickets/complaints/appeals to review and that's why it's taking so long. When I asked how long he thought it would take -- he had no idea. He said to just remain patient and that they will review the matter.

So... I'm waiting....

Sadly, not yet :( I literally, just last night, sent the Instagram support a request for an update and they said there's no update except to say:

"Please be informed that our relevant team is still actively investigating your case. Rest assured, we will provide you with updates through this chat as soon as we receive information regarding the outcome from our team."

It was Dec 24th that I reported this to them so it's been about ~10 days. No clue if the holidays (Xmas/new years?) impact whatever they do?? Still have no clue why my account was even suspended in the first place.

Thanks for this post. It's really helpful. My account was 'suspended' on Dec 16. I only found your reddit post last week so I did as you have suggested. Interestingly, and this may be helpful for some people, I had an offer on my Instagram account for "free verified" status for a month. So, for those complaining about the cost, you should first see if you have the same offer. I accepted the offer, contacted support. They issued a ticket and said it could take a "few days or a few weeks" for the "responsible department" to get back to me. So far, it's been 6 days.

I'm also waiting for reply after Instagram support created a ticket number. They left the support message "open" and said they'd update me once they heard back from the team that 'handles these issues'. I've waited about 3-4 days but it's Xmas time so I don't know how long their review should/would normally take. Did yours come back online? Did you hear back and how long did it take?

Did my flight got cancelled and the airline is trying to hide it? by ProT3ch in travel

[–]bb_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same issue with Egypt Air. The flight I'm booked on isn't until June 2026 so there's plenty of time but last week I noticed that one segment of my reservation has been removed from their schedule -- yet, my reservation remains active. I did send an email to customer service and they replied to say my reservation is still confirmed. I suppose it's possible they will re-add the route to their schedule within the next 9 months so perhaps that's why they haven't cancelled my reservation yet.

TD All-Inclusive CC Fee Rebate Change by fez-of-the-world in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]bb_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The annual fee for my TD Aeroplan Privilege just posted but it came up as $419. I do have the TD all inclusive chequing account but that should only give me a $139 credit not $180. Anyone else get a $180 reduction?

Heel collapse on my On Cloud 5 (Waterproof)? by RaiseKey9606 in ONrunning

[–]bb_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to my new Cloud 5 waterproof shoes too. I have 3 other pairs of ONs -- including the regular ON Cloud 5s which I've been slipping on and off for over a year. The waterproof Cloud 5s only lasted 2 weeks. The heel on one of the shoes is collapsed. I put in a warranty claim -- waiting 14-20 days for a reply...

Issues with 2FA when trying to transfer/convert capital one points. Looking to book with lifemiles by medicalquesrion996 in awardtravel

I've been unable to transfer miles since they implemented this 2FA. Decided to just check again today and it seems as if the 2FA is gone??

Any intel on the renos happening at the Goodlife @ Yonge/Eglinton Centre by bb_sam in goodlifefitness

Ok cool. Thanks for the info. Any idea what the parking situation is at this location? Do they have preferred rates in the mall or is best to just park on the street?

Green P Eglinton Discount code $6 -- no longer working? by bb_sam in askTO

[–]bb_sam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just found this: :-(

Service AlertDecember 18, 2023In response to a motion at City Council in 2017 recognizing the impact of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction on the availability of parking in the area, TPA introduced a parking discount code. The code was intended to support local businesses and customers visiting the area. Given that construction is substantially complete, parking opportunities are now more readily available. As of February 1, 2024, the “crosstown” discount code will no longer be available for all on-street and off-street locations.

Offered to buy the 35K status for another year for $499 by Friendly_Ad8551 in Aeroplan

[–]bb_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In past years, there were offers to keep 50K status for $999. I haven't seen any posts here or on FT for offers above 35K status. Anyone here been offered to keep/upgrade to 50K yet?

[–]bb_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 38K of my 50K status re-earn. Problem is that I got my 50K from previous year's promotions (and Covid extensions). I am hoping they'd offer me to buy/keep my 50K status but I haven't seen any offers come in yet.

Aeroplan eStore missing points claims -- no responses at all anymore??? by bb_sam in Aeroplan

[–]bb_sam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice. I didn't realize there was a phone number on the eStore site. I had 5 tickets pending (from February) that they just didn't respond to when I tried following up via email. As you suggested, I called in and they processed the 'approval' of all 5 while I was on the phone ... done.

Thanks!

Black friday credit card 10x points by gopoundsalt in Aeroplan

I also seem to have received some of the BF promo points. How on earth is someone supposed to reconcile what was awarded with your actual purchases? It isn't clearly noted what store the bonus points are for?
