I'm 13 miles short for an award.
Any quick way to get 13 miles as I'd rather not transfer 1,000 Amex points?
Try calling and asking nicely :)

I made a reservation back in November with skymiles on china southern
Today I try to locate my reservation just to find out that China southern cancelled it.
Delta claims they can't rebook as china southern is leaving the skyteam
I asked to be put up in revenue they claim they are not partners anymore and they can't do that
Anything I could do?

That was a sale for RT flights. Not standard.

FYI I had a flight for myself and wife from NY to MIA for this Tuesday as we go every Purim and I got it a long time ago on a dansdeal. BH my granddaughter is getting married IYH tomorrow night and since her engagement I've been trying to see if they'll do anything for me. I bought insurance but I don't have a health reason and I don't lie. I called them numerous times since then, explained the true situation (invited them to the wedding!) but I got nowhere. Today, no clue why, I called again. I got an exception to use them by the end of December! I guess HUCA can help even the day before!

Does AF have access to different DL inventory than VS? Flight is 130k DL, available for 23,500 FB, but doesn't show up on VS.

What is the penalty for cancelling a delta award ticket?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

For plat/diamond medallion members it’s free until 72 hours before. For everyone else it’s 150 dollars to redeposit miles.

Quick Q for the collective wisdom of the forum.... Transfer of Bonvoy to Skymiles, stated time frame is up to six weeks, what's your actual experience with timing? TIA

Got the Skymiles... They posted around 2-3 days after I processed the request on Bonvoy

  If one should apply for a Delta skymiles Gold cc and be approved instantly, will that work for a free 1st bag for a flight tomorrow morning?
  Assuming with amex it would work, since I have my delta sky miles # and card number, being that amex allows one to have the number ahead of time?
