Air Canada is using unethical business practices to deter passengers from claiming their paid voucher. When I purchased a flight that I had to cancel through Air Canada back in January ****, I was told that a Voucher will be emailed so I can use the funds that I paid towards a future flight. I received a voucher from the airlines via email however, the email states that in order to use the voucher, I will also need a Pin code which will be sent in another email, for safety. I never received the email with the Pin code. Ive checked, Spam folder, trash and all messages but nothing. Last week, I emailed Air Canada requesting the Pin. Ive also called and spoke to a representative whom email the finance department- who deal with vouchers. Ive also called on Monday and spoke to another representative who did the same thing - had to email the finance ***** Im still waiting for the Pin. Ive had to canceled flights with many other airlines before and used a voucher they have sent. But air Canada have the two step process of voucher and Pin code to make it more complicated so that they deter customers from using their earned voucher. To make matters more difficult, they dont send one but not the other. In my experience to make customers go on a goose chase trying to figure out what happened. I think Air Canada is using unethical business practices to try to deter people from using their earned vouchers.Initial Complaint

Hello, on June **, 2022, there was 4 travelers from ****** to ******* to **********. When leaving ******, the flight was late and we told them we could not make the connection. They did not assist. When we landed in *******, the status was complete disarray. There was no flight available to get to **********, so we rented a car. We talked to at least dozen people about getting our bags from the ****** to ******* flight, so we could drive home with our bags. After talking with over dozen people, with more than dozen answers, we finally got an answer from ****** representative, that getting our bags was not going to happen. I have been spending everyday on the phone for hours on hold and then receiving answers that are complete fabrications. Currently have files open ********** - **** and ********** - *****. No one has a solution or want to give any updates.Initial Complaint

We gave both pieces of luggage to the ticket agent in ****** ********.We went back to DFW on 7-8-2022 to file a report since the luggage desk was already closed on 7-7-2022 when we landed (after hours of delays). We had filed a report ********** with the agent for our luggage - 2 suitcases are still missing. I called the luggage department waited several times over an hour and noone responded. I sent 3 emails to the luggage department and no response. i am missing my 2 luggage pieces and thousands of dollars worth of my personal items. There has been no communication from Air Canada at all.I need my luggage and items - ******** are the receipts for luggage and the claim formInitial Complaint

Date of transaction: 03/16/2022 The amount of money paid for the ticket: ******* The business is committed to being provided: flights on time, secured transportation, taking care of the suitcases, and assisting customers in case of any issue.The nature of dispute: Delayed suitcase, lost items, and almost eight days with no clothes, apartment, or car. Air Canada never tried to resolve the issue: No, they refused to assist me, as shown in the emails between me and customer service.Air Canada account number: *********** Booking reference: ****** Claim number: CAS-*******-****** Claim description: Im writing to you to explain my horrific experience with Air Canada after taking 3 planes with horrible customer service which started in ******** where they left me waiting for an hour before giving me incomplete boarding passes. They provided me with 3, then they cancelled all, to give me 2 in total.After arriving at *** in *****, they refused to assist me with retrieving my suitcase, registering again and getting the final boarding pass. After exactly 3 hours of looking for an Air Canada agent who simply refused to show up, they were called and just never came as I kept waiting. An agent then spoke with a border police officer, and she mentioned that the suitcase was transferred to my last flight to be received in *******, she said she will take it in charge and this was over the phone because nobody wanted to assist me in person. She said she will take in charge the process of transferring my suitcase.Needless to say, that never happened. I have not been out of the country for three years and then I have been in ******* for more than 8 days, and the suitcase was still in *****. No one called even though they said they would call me the next day as there were planned flights. Im renting a place and a car because my keys and needs are in the suitcase. I bought clothes because all my clothes are in that suitcase as well as other important daily items.Initial Complaint

We have been trying to locate a lost baggage for 7 days now, without being able to access any service via contact number (* *** ******** (****). We have also filled out the Let Us Know form, but nobody has contacted me back. The message I am getting now on the World Tracer website is Item located, pending confirmation as of July 6. I am currently in *********, left without most of my clothes and personal belongings. This is absolutely unacceptable! What options are available to us if we can't get any services to retrace our bag? This should be the minimum service available to us given our flights were cancelled and we were only rebooked the next day, due to Air Canada losing my luggage.
