Regarding the free ticket comment, perhaps you could have used one of the following (quote taken from lewinr's post in another thread):
"Some years ago I bought some miles to top off an account. Later when I was booking an award ticket there was a comment from the agent that the ticket was "free". I told her that I had bought miles but based on her information I would now dispute the charge and be sure to mention her name in the process. It was amazing how fast her attitude changed...
Another time I was using an award ticket with an airline that very often runs co-marketing promos where they essentailly "sell" miles. (For example, sign up for some new service and get 10,000 miles). Later the flight was cancelled and during the rebooking process I was treated less than reasonably but the agent who also said something about the miles (not just ticket) being free. I said that I manage a company that buys many miles from their airline for such promotions, and I would call our A/P dept and tell them to stop all payments to the airline since miles are in fact free (and again to be sure to mention her name). Again, her attitude changed pretty fast. Of course I was lying, but it felt good..."
