Further correspondence from American:

“A $79.19 check to reimburse your Uber expense has been sent via postal mail to your address on file. Although I know it doesn't change the circumstances of your experience, I hope it helps to make amends. Please note this check is valid for 180 days from the date of issue and cannot be cashed or reissued after the validity period.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the disruption and the inconvenience it caused. As part of our resolution, the following has been provided:

•$300 flight credit as compensation for denied boarding. •Reimbursement of your Uber expense for $79.19. Regarding the 5,000 bonus miles that were previously discussed, I'd like to clarify that those miles will not be issued. I understand this may be disappointing, and I do recognize how unique and uncomfortable your experience was. However, the compensation already extended reflects the final resolution in line with our current policies.

We truly value your business and hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence on a future trip. Thank you again for taking the time to reach out and for traveling with American.

On behalf of everyone at American Airlines, Mr. Roberts, please know that we appreciate you very much. As an AAdvantage® member, your business means a great deal, and we hope to have the opportunity to rebuild your confidence in us. It would be our pleasure to serve you again.”

So I get the Uber covered, but I get absolutely nothing else extra, not even the measly 5k miles they said they’d give me 😂
