Buying a cello seat? You may pay 6 times more…

Here’s our experience with United with purchasing a cello seat:
Purchase your cello seat separately from passenger seat with United, you may end up paying 6 times more than what you were quoted over the phone, but won’t find out till you receive your credit card statement because United does not send an email receipt of the cello seat within the 24 hour cancellation period.

I’m sorry but I’m pretty sure that there’s a voice on the phone which says “your credit card will be charged $x.

Also, you can save screen shots of the confirmation that pops up online right away as a safety, in case the email receipt doesn’t come through or is delayed, which for some reason is not always instantly.

He’s referring to the rest of Mrs Doo’s post (first post in the comments section of yesterdays Nathan Chan/WestJet thread).
Thanks. I was confused because when I followed the link, it showed zero comments on that post; even after seeing your comment here, I had to go to that post and then refresh the page to see the comments. This is happening to me all the time lately on Slipped Disc, and only here; new posts and new comments don’t show up without reloading the page. Curious.
