In another thread on FT, I noted that I erred in my return flts date (I found out about the error, when I wanted the hotel I was staying at to print my bp--I was trying one day too early). I used miles (at full rate) to fly the return on the date I should have been flying. [I "ate" my loss = error]
I was admonished in that thread by one or two posters, noting that AA might penalize me for not flying my paid return--I was not penalized--nor should I have been. No airline could be that draconian.
