I've had great  luck by working through the system a couple of times until
reaching a level 3 or 4 tech and then working things through. If you work
with them, have them make a note on your account that acknowledges your
technical skills and lets you bypass front line staff. I almost never get
stuck talking to front line staff anymore, and I know my feedback has been
helpful in problem resolution more than a few times :)

Get to know the techs, best solution, but it takes perseverance the first
few times.
