Full analysis
What happened
Jessica called Edward regarding a booking that requires full payment before additional benefits can be applied by Explorer. Jessica offered two options: either wait for an alarm reminder on the 21st to add the benefit after payment, or pay early. Edward initially expressed concern about the exact payment date and whether timing might affect the benefit application. Jessica clarified that Explorer will add benefits once payment is confirmed, even if the card is pending. Edward accepted the approach and confirmed the 21st payment date. Jessica set a reminder to send a new invoice in ten days.

Agent (Jessica Folkner): Hi, Ed. It's Jessica from desk relations at Pavlus travel. Customer: Yeah. Agent (Jessica Folkner): I just got off the line with explorer and they advised that the booking does need to be in paid in full before we can add the benefits. Customer: Okay, nope. Agent (Jessica Folkner): So there's, there's one of two things, oh, there's two different things we could do here. One, I already have a little alarm on our end set here for the twenty first to, to make that to add that benefit after your final payment or if you'd like, you can pay early. Customer: Okay. Customer: Yeah, there's, there's no reason. I trust your alarm clock. Agent (Jessica Folkner): But that's up to you. Agent (Jessica Folkner): Oh, perfect. Okay, then I have already have that set for next or in, in ten days for me to apply that special code for you to get the credits for those short excursions. Customer: Yeah, now, now, honestly speak, you may need to wait a day or two later cause I don't know how, what you know, cause obviously the, if the payment happens on the twenty first or do you guys normally pay a day early anyway, just to be, be sure on the twentieth I don't know what day were you planning to pay? Agent (Jessica Folkner): No, we'll pay it on the twenty first and, and all explorer needs to see is that the payment was made and they'll add it on there. So even if your credit card is pending they'll still add it on they just have to follow their protocol or whatnot, so. Customer: Yeah, yeah, why I give him money not asking. Does thank you so much I appreciate you following for. Agent (Jessica Folkner): Yup. Agent (Jessica Folkner): My pleasure and expect an email with a new invoice from me around ten days from now. Okay. Customer: That's great. Thank you much. Agent (Jessica Folkner): My my pleasure bye-bye.
