Best I've done was change flight to day earlier less than 5 hours before. And lost my return flight in the process, and had a 23.5 hour wait time for CS. Worked it out B"H before the flight.
Had three phones call the special skymiles number and took the first rep that answered and said I don't have my number on me.
I'm not who you think I am.

If you're ever in a unfortunate situation where you need to fly in a hurry, you can often beat that. Just booked my in laws a 4:15 flight at 2:00. Headed strait to the airport after. When you're trying to make a funeral...

Great routing for a mileage run  ;D
Except that you don't get any miles on an SQ award ticket.

ETA: who accrues miles from flights? Can't be a DDFer, huh?

You need a flight from CLE-NYC and Dl priced it for 30K miles so you book CLE-BOS via LGA for just 5K miles!!!

This:
I'm just mentioning it so people will continue using Dan's links. There used to be a thread about Amazon Smile where this was discussed more at length, but I can't seem to find it.


Seems like Dan gets referals even for Amazon Smile.

Worked!
