Getting a fast pass because couldn’t ride a ride?

Hey guys,
Back in October, I couldn’t fit on Flight of Passage (too tall, I’m 6’9”), I couldn’t get my knees to go forward enough to get the leg restraints to click. So after I got off, while waiting for my girlfriend (who was small enough to ride), a CM came up to me and asked to scan my magic band to give me and my girlfriend 2 free fast passes because I couldn’t ride.
I was confused because I know they aren’t doing fast passes right now, and asked, and she said with these you could just go up to a fast pass line and use them immediately at any park. My girlfriend got off, and thanked the CM (cause honestly she didn’t have to and during a pandemic, we should always spread the kindness) and wished her a good day.
Flash forward to the following Thursday, we were at Hollywood studios, and tried to use the fast passes to get on runaway railway. We were directed to the fast pass line, and when the guy scanned my magic band, he had no idea what we were talking about. He expressed to us that fast pass is currently only being used for those with disabilities, and not the regular line. He even scanned my magic band and there was nothing on it.
He told me to check customer services just to double check about that happened on FOP. I said ok and thanked him. I decided not to go to customer services though, because it was the last day of the trip and honestly at that point we had ridden all the E ticket items. But it has had my curiosity since we left.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is it possible to see on our magic band account, if we do have extra fast passes to use when they establish it again?
