less paper to hang onto as well

Just like many FF programs A3 will act on anything suspicious to prevent fraud against A3 themselves or to member accounts. I welcome such moves but of course when it happens to be your account under scrutiny then it can be a pain when it is 100% legit.
I also photograph my boarding passes and keep them in a folder which has in the past been very useful even on retro credits. ^
