I am pro consumer..but I am not sure I agree with your stance. You arrived 5 or 6 hours later than your booked time. AA provided you with a voucher for a sandwich and you had two free drinks from AA staff enroute.
You feel you are entitled to free miles at worst, or monetary recompense/refund at best. This was not a delay, this was a schedule change and the airline ran to schedule. You may well have been able to say this schedule change doesn't work for me and get a refund and purchase another ticket.
Don't misunderstand me.... these changes are very annoying and the terms and conditions of tickets are shockingly one sided. When they made the schedule change, I think the fair thing for AA to do would have been to offer you a day room at their cost. However, they did make limited gestures... and I am not sure this passes the threshold of something which requires a more generous response.
