I sent them a message yesterday from the contact form with regards to my missing wifi badge and they answered me within 4 hours asking for a receipt from GoGo and said that once they had that they would credit my missing wings. I'm assuming once the next update to the board goes through it will be there. Was actually surprised how quickly they got back to me but maybe this is the outlier considering their track record

which Twitter handle did you use to get in touch with the EYW team? As I can't find one to resolve my issue via Twitter. I DM'd the AC handle and that team told me the online form is the only channel of communication to EYW team.

Oh gee golly whiz I'm going to earn so many wings. I've always wanted to max out my credit cards on AC gift cards!

Thanks. It appears as though the wings are per-transaction on any card above $500, so a gift card purchase of $1000 would still only earn 1000 wings. Though the EYW team seems to be slow at responding to any question sent their way so it hasn't been clarified.

and with AC gift cards, NOTHING could possibly go wrong...
no travel insurance from a CC, no refundability to gift card, etc
makes it a hard sell to earn 250k wings this way just by buying gift cards
