And I don't understand why people get so worked up about it. When people aren't sure if something's a bug or a feature, they ask about it. If the same thing happened to me, I'd want to know if there's some magical way that I can make it happen again. It's different if you KNOW that you got miles and you weren't supposed to. Then keep your yap shut. However, OP clearly wasn't sure if there's some exception to the no miles on award tickets rule, so he asked.
