Agree totally that it's never good idea to be confrontational with ANY personnel with any kind of authority - whether it be Immigration, Customs, Police or even - and especially - stupid Private Security Guards In China.
Unfortunately, private security companies/estates etc in the PRC are quite notorious in employing total idiots who are cheap to employ, quite unquestioning when told to do anything by supervisors/employers and too stupid to understand that what they had been told to do is sometimes ill-advised to actually perform. This is why we hear time and again these security guards beating up people and even killing some.
and I gotta say wander - you REALLY must be lucky as a person! I cannot imagine being let-off in either of the 2 scenarios you found yourself in.

Wow! So, your credit card company actually compensated you NOT only for the cost of the air-ticket (Hk$740) but also for your other ancillary costs?? To the tune of US$3,000??!! WOW! How does that work and which credit card/insurance is this that you got?
What are some of the"rules" you gotta follow to be entitled to receive such recompense? I mean, if the flight was just delayed say a few hours, I cannot imagine that you'd be getting such compensation etc. - no?

I think that there's not only Tiger and Cebu Pacific that's competing on the lucrative Hong Kong/PI run that used to be dominated by the major airlines like Cathay Pacific and Philippine Airlines - right?
And when buying these air tickets these days, the TOTAL price including all the fuel surcharges, airport tax should be fully taken into account when comparing prices. So much more complicated these days with all these variations and different rules, bells, whistles, charges etc in each airline/travel agent website.
