Downgraded on 5 hour flight and I'm issued 6k miles
I had the worst flying experience of my life while flying from ORD-SFO that I paid using miles - we were first sat in the plane for 2 hours before the crew learnt that they timed out and then we went back to the gate where the new crew decided we needed to change the plane.
Then we waited for 5 hours at the gate and then the flight finally cancelled and we had an overnight delay because we couldn't find a new plane and I got a seat the next day and I was downgraded from first class to Economy.
Then when I called to get compensation, I was told that the compensation for the downgrade is 6,000 miles.
I was already infuriated by the shit show that happened and this is an icing on the cake. I can't believe that I went through so much at the airport and this is how American airlines wants to treat me.
