Tossed any bones for involuntary downgrade?
I fully understand that when I use an AONE ticket on a segment that doesn't have first class availability, I'm not entitled to so much as a free drink. But... I was booked in D on AA412 a couple of weeks ago, nice official ticket with D and OK written all over it, but dear AA oversold the front cabin, and tho' I was in plenty of time, everyone else was there ahead of me.
As the flight was over in the back too, the agent nicely protected me through SJU (in D on the SJU-JFK leg) but I stood by for 412 rather than take the delay, and in fact got on in coach.
If I whimper at the right AA person, are they likely to at least credit me with the biz miles?

Nothing to lose.
I was on an A transcon on AA, they changed the a/c and offered me either later flight or J on earlier flight. I took J. The check in agen tsaid she would credit my AA account (my choice) with miles. She didn't. I wrote to AA and they credited me with 10,000 miles for the inconvenience.
