Because it is almost certainly a scam or a knockoff.

I have a question I'm asking for someone else. The person has a ticket for a one way international Delta flight via RDU that he bought with blue miles on Air France website. He has to take an infant with him. As you know, they typically charge 10%. In this care it would be $300. A RT is significantly cheaper but he was told he can't book RT for the baby since his is one way. Any ideas?

I missed my flight plenty of times and never got charged anything. I even got a confirmed seat sometimes on the next flight, not just standby. I believe it was usually American using ba points. Maybe award flights are different.

In Europe many airlines outsource to companies at airports (I.E. Menzie's Aviation). When I missed my SN flight due to customs there was no one to talk to from the airline. The contractor could not help with anything other than try to sell me a new ticket. Complete disaster in cases of IRROP.
There was another time I missed my flight from ORF to MIA booked via avios. The agent/supervisor didn't want to rebook me. Eventually after hanging around for 1.5 hrs and shooting the breeze with her, she rebooked me via LGA. Didn't come easy so YMMV.

I get the pop up every time I turn it on. And there's no option "no thanks"

I hate the current update & just worried the new one might be worse.

Yes, I'm getting the same thing every time. It's so annoying! If you figure out a way to stop it, please let me know. Thanks!
