Alaska will only issue me one 2500 miles for delayed bags, not per bag. I had 3 checked bags, and was told only one 2500 miles. Also have had a few occasions where there is no-one in the baggage office to get get my delayed bag miles.

American Airlines lost my bag for 30 days, and I had to go to three countries on a trip I had saved for for a month with only the clothes on my back because I am disabled, was alone, and spent my whole trip trying to get my bags back. The airline told me there was nothing they could do for me even though I kept contacting them with reference numbers, case numbers, and emails from the moment my bag was lost. Ruined my whole trip! The airline said I waited too long and never contacted them even when I sent them the proof and sent hard copies to them!
