and as I have said in countless threads, when you are short some miles from something you legitimately did on an airline site, it's not so easy as "just calling them up" to get those missing miles. I can cite TONS of personal examples with printed proof showing what a pain in the freakin ars this really is! A recent one ended after months of pain and death, and I can only say this: I have NEVER lost a missed mile or rebate except once. And that one was my mistake.
