Me too & question
I also have received miles off a free ticket when being changed from say United to Varig (belong to both programs) and an uprade too boot! (Many times)
Question?
I just had a flight delayed 3-4 hours and was put on DL by NW, while I got the miles for flying DL on my Worldperks account (and the Y class bonus + my reg. 100% bonus) I still lost (1) one segment w/NW (and 100% elite bonus). Should I ask for that segment credit, or just leave well enough alone? Will NW consider such?

Remember when you used to put those little FF stickers on the TWA flight coupons?
I'm sure no one ever put one of those on an award ticket's coupon, and got mileage for it. And I'm sure no one ever put them on another person's flight coupon, like a daughter's (though not on the identical flight, of course), and got credit for it. And I'm sure no one ever parlayed these miles into lots of FC visits all over Europe with the 2-FC-for-1-purchased-coach TWA award. The one that launched a thousand mileage runs that really were worth doing.
