Replacement order confirmed and another data point for others.

I got my Oura ring using an AMEX card benefit credit and picked it up on October 7th last year. Its served well up until about the last software update, after which the time between charges dropped from a typical 5-6 days down to 2-3 days.

I searched threads and asked ChatGPT for solutions, which prompted me to use "Finn" the Oura ring AI chatbot. After 3 back and forth sessions, Finn repeatedly said everything was in normal range. Last night while showering at 9pm, I charged my Ring 4 up to 100%, and upon waking this morning my ring was down to 66%.

I gave Finn one more try and, lo and behold, Finn ran a diagnostic and found an issue. Replacement order on the way.

Question for those who had a replacement shipped recently, did anyone receive a newer Ring 5 or did you get a comparable Ring 4?

77k/pp award ticket got cancelled (involntary schedule change), that BCN-DFW route is ending for the season in November. They added a connection (BCN-MIA-DFW) and 5 hour delay in arrival from my original booking.

Is there any rule, loophole, or statement I can use with the Exec Plat agent to move me to a MAD-DFW nonstop at no extra cost? I tried citing a 300 mile coterminal rule but got shutdown 2x, and the dynamic award price for MAD-DFW is over 200k/pp.

I know some other FF programs have a hold on new accounts and large incoming point transfers. What can I expect for any fraud triggers? Looking to xfer 240k MR points in for 2 award tickets.
