So any update I just spoke with customer service and it is what I thought happened. Those miles were a bonus from my redemption. When they cancelled my J seat I lost 5.5k miles in the transaction. This put my account under the required mileage for a F ticket. They claim there is nothing they can do. Problem is my J flight is now gone and I don't have the extra 4k miles to book the F seat. The hold on the F seat may expire at midnight. Nobody is really clear on when that is going to happen. I am praying starwoods miles will hit the account today (being that I did a transfer on Sat), but it is far from a guarantee. Anyone have any ideas? The CSR just told me I could buy miles and it would cost me $118 to do so. Of course, once the starwoods miles hit then those miles won't be necessary.
