Let my Hyatt anniversary night expire thinking I'd get 10K points, only to be told that the Chase issued nights can no longer be cashed into points or extended 

I got 10k points issued today on first try. Simple 5-minute phone call.

Both are probably theft or unethical, no need to pay if you can do it for free. Assuming you're ok with the ethics.

If they wanted BGs they wouldn't have added quantity limits on most products sold

They probably have to do that as part of their agreements with the manufacturers.

They could easily cancel orders the way best buy and b&h do.

Why not become an authorized officer? I don't think there's any legal paperwork required.

VS requires 48 hour advance booking for KSML only. Every other meal requires 24 hours.

BA too. KSML and Halal iirc require 48 hours.

45 days probably refers to the 3 free months offer, not SIM validity.

Was able to downgrade 2 Arrival Plus to the regular Arrival

I believe this is always possible through a supervisor.

Covered Trip means any pre-paid tour, trip or vacation when some
portion of the cost for such travel arrangements less any redeemable
frequent flyer miles, points, coupons or certificates, or other types of
redeemable Rewards has been charged to your Account:
• while the insurance is in effect
• to a destination of greater than one (1) mile from your
primary residence
• and is for a time period that doesn’t exceed sixty (60) days
in duration
Rewards means points, miles, cash Rewards, or any other type of
redeemable Rewards, provided that all Rewards have been accumulated
through use of a Rewards program sponsored by Chase Bank USA, N.A.
and/or its affiliates.

You should be able to HUCA AA for a fee waiver though.
