~user08453's review of United Airlines customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's United Airlines customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~user08453: Their call center is based in Manila, Philippines. Woman on other end was polite but ultimately futile. Situation: United charged me $** for a required seat upgrade to Economy Plus (only seat class available at time of ticket purchase) even though invoice said it would be waived. At time of check-in, Economy seats were available so I switched to one. Still no refund. Agent said she could not refund me, and said I must go to united.com instead. Now I am required to fill out online forms and provide documentation for something that was United's fault in the first place.**Their system should refund seat downgrades automatically when you check in, or an agent should be able to do it instantly while on the phone. United is a terrible airline with worthless customer service.

~user08453: I'd give them a three out of five on communication.

~user08453: For that I would say five out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other United Airlines customers?
