Dear Aeroplan Team,
Very happy holidays from London! I am pleased to be flying home to Toronto with Air Canada this Christmas, but I am disappointed to see that this end-of-year journey (approx. 3,500 status miles) will bring my total status miles for the year to roughly 33,000 -- just shy of the cut-off for Elite status. Bearing in mind my loyal customer history and unique circumstances for 2010, I am writing to ask you to grant me 2011 Elite status on a discretionary basis.
As you can see from my 2009 flight history (43,651 miles earned), this year has been an unusually low mile year for me, due in large part to my move to the UK: my passport has been with the Home Office for immigration purposes for quite some time, and consequently I have not been able to travel my normal amount/distances. Now that I am settled, however, my work and leisure travel will resume its normal levels. In fact, I am expecting 2011 to be a particularly high-travel year: I have a book launch and several associated promotional events scheduled for 2011.
I have been a loyal Aeroplan member since 2008, and I have always been impressed with Air Canada's approach to customer service and its Aeroplan program. Even though I now live in London -- a British Airways and OneWorld Alliance hub -- I would like to continue to be an Air Canada / Star Alliance flyer, and I hope that you will see fit to grant me discretionary 2011 Elite status to facilitate and encourage my continued business.
Very best regards,
Swiss Miss

ReplyDeleteMaybe you should go business class.
ReplyDeleteWe're already breaking the bank just to fly economy. :(
ReplyDeleteI would have had a stronger finish to the whole thing based on your past history of writing to to the Zellers "Turkeys" etc. when you were Seven. Such as "SO GIVE ME WHAT I WANT YOU INCONSIDERATE, BUREAUCRATIC ,UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!! Stuff like that does get peoples attention. I would be quite glad to lend you my 4X6 INCH "BULLSHIT" Splatter stamp, or my equally assertive "FUCK YOU' stamp and other stronger and larger ones in the arsenal , when they send you their simpering, limp- wristed excuses why they can't give you what you're after.Let me know, I'll Fed-X them to you.
ReplyDeleteI love you, Ray
ReplyDeleteI love you too Kathleen, and always have. Is it inconceivable that you could DUMP Rob and come away with me? Just asking a purely hypothetical question. We would make such a cute couple with you pushing my wheelchair and all. Ha Ha. Love and Xmas Greetings to you both. Ray
