I don't know if I can use that point to get any attention from US airways.
Even if it really is a violation of the law, they will probably use the point that I can use the remaining value of this cancelled ticket to make another purchase. So basically, it serves as an US airways voucher now.
Did they charge you any $150 change fees? As long as they didn't do that and you'd use the voucher within the next year, then it should be no big deal for you. However, if not, then it's something you may want to pursue with the DOT.
