And so I called reservations back and another wonderful agent handled my case competently, though not as generous. Initially, I merely inquired for re-confirmation, wondering if this gentleman would discover any anomalies. As expected, confidently I was told everything was confirmed, ready to go, and then the agent said, "Oh wow..."

Indeed, even this gentleman admitted that this would have been a wonderful 'gift'. However, I didn't want a gift. My intention was to purchase, with miles that is, and this is the right thing to do. Back to my shell for now folks.
