Would any of these things happen today?
Not for just anyone, of course. But I bet LH would do that for a HON, BA for a Prem, CX for a Diamond+, and SQ for a Solitaire PPS.
Just speaking personally, BA and CX have moved mountains for me on the truly rare occasion where I really screwed up. Not to the level of your example...but then again, I never needed quite that much.
UA? Forget it.
