IIRC, one person posted that upthread.

That was me. I tried chatting and that's what they told me.  He was very cordial about letting me downgrade but mention the forfeit as an afterthought.

Can you book one for the distance future and have the points re-deposited if you change your mind?

Miles clawed back for the $461 glitch.
You can't compare an airfare clawback with a credit card clawback.
Anyone ever heard of a credit card signup bonus being clawbacked?
It has never happened.

Capable? Sure.

Likelihood given the past occurrences? Near nil, except for a UA clawback I've heard of through the grapevine.

Most times a rep says that it's either a scare tactic, and/or they're simply uninformed or misinformed.
+1

I closed two cards via SM.
The rep handling one closing gave me the whole scare-down, similar to what was reported here.
The rep handling the other closing didn't mention a word about forfeiting miles.

I saw those posts... but is it anything more substantiated than rumours?
If they were indeed doing this, I reckon I should've earned plenty of clawbacks in the past for DL and UA signup bonuses.

The UA clawback has happened to someone I'd trust.

And CV stated pretty definitively about DL clawbacks.

Did not involve CC bonuses but this one you can take to the bank.

I don't do 18BM's and charge $80K a month, so I reckon I am good.

Then, what was their reason for clawing back?
Since when do you need a CC open for 6 months to earn a signup bonus?
