What's the worst thing for which you've gotten miles or points?
A couple months ago I had to pay $600 when my car was towed (thanks City of San Francisco!) and I put it on my SPG Amex.

Boots with clear heels (the type seen at gentlemen's clubs) for a company event. Paid with a personal card then got reimbursed by corporate. Got 60 AAdvantage miles. Not the worst but the closest to family friendly.

I called United once to whine about being stuck in the middle seat on a flight - had 1K status at the time. They threw me some miles (4000, maybe more?) - and I was able to move to a better seat by the time check-in rolled around.
Not a bad thing - but I do feel a little guilty about the level of entitlement.

He was a real PITA but my daughters loved Pop Pop.
