My bigger (but still not very big) challenge has been the redeposit of miles when I cancel an award booking. About 1 out of every 7 or 8 I will have to call in to get the miles redeposited. Not a big deal, but one would think that they could make this work correctly every time...
I did per the T&Cs (I did hit 55K EQP), but my re-qual did not go through automatically...my account is under review now
If not for my HKG flight upgrade needs (in-laws), I'd be all AA...grass is definitely greener over there IMO. Regardless I'll still fly them some short-haul to get around the EWR monopolistic pricing & crap RJs.
Anyways - while I'm on a good streak with miles re-depositing, it continues to boggle the mind about the issues they have posting miles (again, slowness is endemic to SHARES). I know Mr. $misek thought it mind-boggling when consumers said they wanted timely mile posting, but surprise surprise, going from 1 day to 3-4 days (or not at all) causes issues.
