Surely someone out there has already thought of this!

First, most airlines tend to give out miles and only vouchers on major screw ups. Second, after the first or second compliant letter/email someone in customer relations is going to look at your flight profile, realize that you are doing MRs and attempting to obtain vouchers/additional miles for everyday problems that occur in air travel. Which in turn will probably mean a polite letter/email back apologizing but explaining that no compensation in any form will now be provided.
