Although, they have been known to make exceptions to this rule when there are travel issues due to certain unforseen circumstances (injury, illness, death in the family, etc.)

I seem to remember Delta did cancel award redeposit for platinum at one point in time and claiming due to abuse (I was Delta plat and diamond on and off for 7 to 8 years). And they gave 2 waivers for plat or something like that.

The last agent I spoke to in Phoenix was working from home. Based on that, I am not going to "assume" that there isn't a brick & mortar call centre in Phoenix. Similarly, you shouldn't "assume" Seattle doesn't have a call centre because you have never been routed there.

No! the itinerary was made up of three separate record locators on three different fare basis, 1 Y, 2 J. Still 33% on that basis. Even if it was two fare basis, you are assuming that each fare basis covered the same number of flight segments; otherwise you would be skewing the actual flights flown by not weighting them appropriately. One fare basis for a single Y flight and one fare basis for 5 J flights does not mean 1/2 your flights were in Y! Don't you agree? If I flew BLI-SEA(AS)-NRT(JL) you could certainly argue that 1/2 your flights were on AS but you can't argue that the 92 miles from BLI-SEA is half your miles flown.
