Not surprised... I find most FDCs don't know what it takes to earn status in their program and what it takes to keep it, so not knowing all the different programs/benefits is believable. It's sad when the customer has to explain things to them.

Now that I think back, though, there was one long stay where I was on three different rates at different times. I got credit for four stays!!
