There's apparently a secret customer score, and chances are, you have one and you don't even know it.
It's called a Customer Lifetime Value, or CLV.
A high one means you spend less time on hold and get a few extras from customer service reps, for example, seat upgrades from airlines.
There's no universal standard.
Companies each have their own ways of determining scores, but we're told that people with solid scores shop a lot, don't return stuff and don't make a lot of complaints.
