Hmm...I wonder, Blade, if you realize how very few people in the general populance would have had any kind of moral dilemma if they were faced with your situation?

So, here's a big thumbs up and a big PAWS UP (cats, you know?) to you. It only goes to show how special and just all around *good* FlyerTalkers are!

And to answer your question, no, I've never had that happen in my FF accounts. I did have it happen to my Marriot frequent stayer points. When they were converting over from Biztravel's maintenance of their points, after having most of my points disappear, I had an extra 250,000 or so added to my balance. However, when I called them, they showed the correct balance both times. So once whahhh, and once, yayyy. But THEIR computers always had the correct balance, regardless of what showed on my computer screen.

Soooo, for what it's worth --and I am just guessing here -- it's a good bet that your airline probably had the correct balance for you, and if you'd tried to book 4 or 5 around-the-world trips in FC, it most likely wouldn't have worked anyway.

But congrats on staying on the moral high ground.

Yours, etc.
