Yesterday was a bad day to be flying through ORD. My original incoming flight was cancelled. I probably would have made my connection, except that my plane was 1000 pounds overweight and sat for twenty minutes burning fuel. Ending up getting to the gate in time to see my plane still sitting there, but too late. Was rebooked on a flight two and a half hours later.
This morning I got an unsolicited email telling me I would receive 9000 award miles.
