A Bit of An Inconsistent Approach - So What Else Is New?

A few minutes later I received the email which offered:

1. 9,000 award miles
2. $200 e-cert for U.S. flight
3. 10% e-cert for any flight

I was a little surprised and somewhat happy that at least I got something!
First, I'm really glad that your letter got a result. That is a significant "adjustment" you were given, which is fantastic. I will give it a try, particularly since virtually all of my flying is in paid C or full fare Y (B or Y fares) on international routes.

My expectations are modest, however, as it seems they should be!
