Track my phone trade-in until the credit actually lands

Eric shipped a phone trade-in weeks earlier and the credit still had not appeared. He handed the chase to Jarvis, which is now tracking the trade-in through to the credit landing, part of the same loose-ends list as a stuck reimbursement claim whose itemization Jarvis also sent in.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Eric hands Jarvis the stale chases, including the trade-in and a stuck reimbursement claim
  2. Jarvis submits the claim itemization
  3. Trade-in is tracked toward the credit landing
  4. Jarvis reports the running picture of open items on request

Why it’s worth knowing

The job is pure persistence — a credit that only arrives if someone keeps checking. The agent's contribution is not skill, it is never forgetting.
