I agree - this was simply a mistake.
No reason to escalate the situation.

Funny thing is that before I joined this list I would have been the first person arguing vehemently for my miles as my right because they goofed. But being on here and seeing other people act that way- and even threatening legal action - has made me see how petty it really is. Thai opened my eyes.

Fraud is one thing, and yes that should be brought to the attention of the public and law enforcement- but honest mistakes happen and are another matter.

If they are not willing to make a peace offering like American has graciously done - I am not willing to tie up the legal system with this. I will simply choose for myself if I want to use them in the future (and the answer is probably yes).
I want to be the legitimate winner
