This entire thread is starting to look like a rebus!

Really? They give a "grieving" customer a fare at a much lower basis code than he could find himself probably at the last minute, then take 10% off it. In this case, that "grieving" customer is a vicar who says--basically--that it was just my 54-year-old sister-in-law, so that's why I'm not so broken up and have time to worry about EQMs.
If you don't like CO's chinsey bereavement policy, then buy your own seat in H class on their website and get 150% EQMs. Perhaps if more people close to you die, you might actually make Platinum before the year's out...

I ask the moderator to now close this thread as it is causing more grief.

Just booked a compassion fare from IAH to LGW. You can only book fare by calling CO. First the Res person quoted a fare $400 more than I had seen on co.com. Told here there was a "Q" fare and she found that and then gave the 10% compassion bereavement discount and I booked the ticket. When I checked the booking on line it shows only 50%eqm, and I also lost 500 miles for not booking online. It seems hard to accept this as the compassion fare can only be booked by phone, and I gave all the details requested about deceased, funeral home etc..
Very far from it. Would 100% EQM's help you to obtain Silver for next year? Maybe you should book a first class ticket and get 150% EQM's! I understand that you are just pointing this out, but most know that if you call in, you don't get 100% EQM's.

Yea, I'm sure when I have a family emergency, my first thought will be about my FF miles. I leave that to people like you
