My question is:
Can I request miles for the ticket that I paid for but couldn't use?
Did you purchase the original ticket with a credit card that offers trip-cancellation insurance? If so, then depending on the exact nature of the "problems" that caused you to cancel the trip, you might be entitled to reimbursement of the cost of the original ticket.
