FareScan uses delay tactics - Beware
I scheduled a flight to S. Korea with Asiana airlines. I was given an option to do seat upgrades which were handled by FareScan. The day I arrived at the airport, I found that the seat upgrades I had paid for had not been processed and forwarded to Asiana by FareScan. I called FareScan support while at the airport to resolve the matter but they said they couldn't right then but I could contact them later to sort it out. In the end, I had to repurchase my seat upgrades with the intent to later work with FareScan, after the flight, to get refunded. When I returned from my trip, I contacted Bank of America to dispute the charge. I was told I would have to try to resolve it with FareScan first. I attempted to do so. An 8 month series of promised resolutions and delays by FareScan support followed until I disputed the charge again only to be denied by BofA for going over their 60 day limit. Two lessons learned here: don't do business with FareScan and watch out for the 60 day limit for disputing with BofA, something that is not widely published and not mentioned by their automated system.
