Can we aggregate all the “how many points” questions into a single thread. What happened, and how much were you compensated for it?

This would be a great pinned topic. I’ll contribute:

- 5h Friday night delay on AA. Technical issues. Have to change planes. Don’t arrive at destination until 3AM. $175 travel voucher

- 6 or 7 hour delay Friday morning, also due to technical issues on AA. $100 voucher

- Bathtub wouldn’t drain properly @ Hilton Doubletree. 5k points

Great suggestion! I’ll consider having 1 how many points post to prevent us getting flooded with them.

United (when I was between platinum and gs)
- No WiFi - $100 (multiple times)
- Bumped from Business to Premium Economy due to smaller plane change (mechanical issues) - $1100
- Plane change and new plane didn’t have the lay-flat business class - $500
- Plane delayed 6+ hours - $750
- Entertainment console did not work - $250

What’s great was that oftentimes for issues that affected the entire plane, the flight attendants encouraged us to log into the customer cares website and told us we would be compensated. Always ask for more.
