Some would say that mattress running and mileage runs are gaming the system. Does that mean a rule is knowingly broken?
Gaming is legal. Card counting is not.
This is another quote from the original post:
Once referred to the rate desk, however, the caper is DEAD. The PNR gets annotated, and no one I might subsequently call or speak to at an AC is willing to act. That happened night before last, on my outbound, so I sucked it up and just flew on the original routing.
This exact quote proves the OP knew it was wrong. AA locked up his/her account and now AA corporate security is involved.
Lets see what happens.
The "caper", "gaming the system". No the OP had now idea he/she was pulling some cr*p, and getting away with it 80% of the time. Does anyone understand that airlines keep detailed profiles on everything you do with them. They record every phone call, they put details into every reservation explaining why any changes are made. And if AA corporate security is now involved, I am sure they will check all of this out, including asking whoever at AA reads FT if someone came on to brag about this.
