Could they claw back any Frequent Flyer points? What about charging the fare difference (between the fare paid to the fare for the higher intermediate point at which the trip was abandoned) to the credit card on which the ticket was issued? Anything else?
If your last sector (or two) were initially left as Open, and you happened to run out of the 12 month validity before it was convenient to take those flights, I believe that it would be a great shame.... Has anyone ever regrettably been faced with this situation?

As far as FF points were concerned, you wouldn't get them as you never took the flight(s). They could hardly be recovered if they hadn't been awarded.
