there has to a threat of legal action that others have made to have exceptions made. any one know of such a case ?

alternatively, we should mount a grassroots campaign to contact them / take legal action and boycott the airline. any one in ?
Alternatively, contact AAdvantage Customer Service, tell 'em you did not receive timely notice, and ask 'em to reinstate just your miles, at no charge, as a one-time exception.

This approach involves much less time and effort than a class-action suit or boycott, and probably carries a higher chance of success.
