Ali Jaffery’s lost-luggage claim is denied because of “substantial discrepancies” in the claim. Can Southwest Airlines do that?

In mid-February Hyatt launched a promotion whereby they're offering those with their co-branded Chase credit card a 20% refund on award redemptions through July 31, 2015.
The promotion is even better than that, since it applies to previously made reservations as well as to those that apply for the Chase Hyatt Visa during the promotion period.
I'll basically receive as many points through this promotion as I do through Hyatt's spring promotion, given that a 20% refund on award redemptions is huge.
Best of all, this applies to both free night and Points + Cash redemptions, so is extremely lucrative regardless of how you prefer to redeem your points.

Here's something which I'll never understand. While I don't claim to always pay perfect attention to safety videos, surely we've all heard the line about leaving all carry-on items behind in the event of an emergency.
And if you haven't heard it and are in the unfortunate situation to have an emergency evacuation, you'll surely hear it when the flight attendant repeatedly yells at the top of his/her lungs to leave all carry-on items behind.
Yesterday a US Airways flight at Denver International Airport had to be evacuated via the emergency slides due to smoke in the cabin. And there's a video of the evacuation:
