@British_Airways never loaded my wife's bag on her flight. Then told us it was being sent to our hotel. Nope again. 21 days later, home, no bag. I've been yelled at by their baggage team in Spain (Carmen), and never, ever treated anyone as I've been treated. #CustomerServiceFail

@chinmay @SputnikATX @ReutersMomentum Our process is pretty straightforward and based upon economic and psychographic screens that we've developed over the years. It's not for everyone. If it doesn't work for you, cool. 😀
