Depending on his age, shouldn't he be the one to do this rather than you?
Some organizations let you buy back miles or points that have recently expired.
Putting a phone on speaker presumes that I have a phone capable of being on speaker and that I am in the same place long enough to spend 40 minutes sitting by a phone on speaker. Not happening this month.
He's 15, so no, he shouldn't be the one dealing with this.
The gap in his WN travel is because all the flying he's done since then was on award tickets on other airlines. Don't think I should mention that to WN when I contact them.
But next month we start visiting colleges, and several of those trips will be by air on routes WN serves, so having the miles back would make me more likely to choose WN for those trips. As they no longer are cheaper than the legacy carriers for most of our travel I'd need incentive to choose them over any other carrier, and the attitude I caught from them this week certainly wouldn't make me choose them.
