EB does not guarantee that you will get a great baring position. It only guarantees that you

will get a better boarding position than anyone that checks himself in.

 

EB boarding are doled out in the order purchase, so if you bought your EB relatively late, you will not only have all the A-Listers in front of you, but all those that purchased EB before you will be in front of you too

Solution

Double check that it was actually applied to your itinerary. Does your boarding pass say EarlyBird Check-In on it? If not you can contact Customer Relations and request a refund. If so, then the advice above applies.

EBCI doesn't guarantee A, but C is egregious. If EBCI is resulting in C, they need to assess if there should be a limit on the number of EBCI being sold.
