They should also only honor one mispriced ticket per passenger name and cancel the rest.
Are you saying that because it will benefit you personally?

Put yourself in CX’s shoes, why would they do that? It isn’t honouring the contract, it would unilaterally be changing it and for what purpose, for most the miles earned are small fry to them and like someone said mostly not going to be on their own programme.
