I put taxes from an Avios booking on my Citi Prestige before I did the PGGM this year and they got refunded

so now my PGGM is now only going to get me $238.80.

Wouldn't you have paid the tax anyway? What have you actually lost here?

missing the minimum spend of 3000 by $40 and not getting my 50K AA miles.

I guess I didn't really lose anything. It's just that I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing.
