Don't try to beat the system. It only makes problems for people who earn miles the old fashioned way.

I have had only one situation where I earned miles but didn't get on the plane - it was a mechanical failure on AA from MIA to EWR. They put us on CO, AA posted the miles, so did CO.

I thought this was a mistake by the AA folks, and the CO folks. But no reason to contact them about it.
