Revenue ua flight got cancelled and I asked to be rebooked on AA thinking I'd probably get redeemable miles, forgetting that I was booked on a revenue flight with UA and would have gotten that anyway. I'm not getting any more miles and lost upgrade chances (would have cleared)
you can still claim the miles from UA for the IRROPS flight so you get to double dip

Probably a common mistake, but annoying.
I didn't cancel some things in my S&S in time.
I got the 'last chance' email over the weekend, so I missed it and yesterday was the last day to dump them.   :( :-[

BTDT, if you email them they might be able to help.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Call, ask for a one time exception, pray for the best, HUCA.

However, the wonderful gracious folks at Uber were willing to forgive the sin of stupidity and give me the $25 credit.

Maskim that this is such an easy mistake to make. BH you got this response though, cause 75% of the time I get some scripted garbage response and a 5$ credit for such issues . Of course I don't let them get away with that though

hit the wrong flight when booking a united flight on a cancelled ticket, booked with $50 change fee. realized several hours later and called to change the flight, and had to pay $75 same day flight change fee. I tried to get it waived, didn't have the patience for multiple HUCA's.



ETA: Somewhat redeemed, just called back to change another ticket, and got them to waive the change fee.

I listened to my banker instead of checking on ddf.  :o
I should  have applied for the Freedom Unlimited the same day as the Sapphire Reserve.  What's another $500 credit once I'm already transferring $10k?!  What a waste of a hard pull on a 1BM.  >:(

As long as points post she will not even respond. Saves the time to cancel.  :)

Why not try to pass? You'll have to do it at some point in the future anyway.
