UA messed up my itinerary and shortchanged me with a different booking class on an NH flight, so I lost about 1500 miles. UA also had a schedule change, and would only route me through certain cities, again, messing up my carefully booked itineraries.

I've written to both UA and AE, but I'm not taking chances - I took the 1500 AQM threshold gift, even though I'll hit SE by Jan. 1/14.

Otherwise, I'd have taken the 5000 regular Aeroplan miles.

For 90K, I'll pick the 15K or Amazon certificate.
