UC San Diego Financial Aid Callback Tool: About Claimyr
Like you, I was at wit's end trying to find a good way to reach a human when I was unemployed in the 2020 pandemic lockdown. After calling 500 times a week to the EDD in California, I built a software program to dial for me automatically. This led to me sharing this tool with you. So far, a few hundred thousand people have used it to reach a live human not only at the UC San Diego Financial Aid but also at the IRS phone number, Airlines phone numbers, Healthcare provider phone lines, and many more hard-to-reach phone lines across America.
Claimyr is a software-as-a-service that automates the entire calling process for you. We do this by programming software to
- automatically dial the UC San Diego Financial Aid phone number,
- navigate the phone menu,
- stay on hold,
- detect if a live agent has picked up the call,
- then forward a call to your phone with a live human waiting for you
The value for you is you can quickly get paid without the hours, days, weeks, and months of manually dialing over and over, staying on hold for hours, and often redialing after a dropped call. Instead, using Claimyr, all you need to do is press a button and wait for a callback to your phone with a live agent on the call.
Yes, Claimyr is legit. We welcome you to search Google for "Claimyr". You'll see thousands of genuine happy reviews, news articles, and our location (San Francisco).
And no, Claimyr doesn't clog the lines or make matters worse. This is because Claimyr has a one-call-per-customer policy. We only place a single call at a time for you. We don't blast the phone lines as this would be cost-prohibitive for us (our calls would be preventing our own calls from reaching a human) and goes against our values. Also, if you use Claimyr, you stop calling yourself. This means that Claimyr doesn't add additional calls to the phone lines that wouldn't already be there anyway.
Here's what people usually say about Claimyr:
News coverage of Claimyr for the skeptical:
What is the best time to call the UC San Diego Financial Aid?
Do not call during these times (unless you are using Claimyr, which then you can order a callback 24/7 Monday - Sunday):
- 👎 Monday mornings
- 👎 After 5 pm on any day
- 👎 Friday afternoons (as you'll likely not solve your issue until the following week)
But again, if you are using Claimyr's automated callback tool, then you will be able to place a call literally anytime during the day and get a callback soon after.
The best time to call the UC San Diego Financial Aid is Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. ⚠️WARNING⚠️: please beware that you often need to dedicate an entire day to dialing over and over just to get on hold. Also, the UC San Diego Financial Aid is notorious for dropping calls even when you finally do get on hold! So if you decide to start calling mid-week, due to excessive call volume, you may not be able to reach an agent until the following week or longer.
If you don't consider calling the UC San Diego Financial Aid a full-time profession, consider using a calling tool such as Claimyr to guarantee a callback with an agent on the line with zero hold time.
