Right. And there is no need for those 330 days thing at all if you are flying in economy.

I dont understand why people still hold the concept of 330 days - it has not been working this way for years with the advance of the yield management software and the internal policy change within airlines which now seldom release a set amount of award seats in that urban-myth timeframe of 330 days before... but people still hang on the old "trick" and perpetuate the outdated concept despite has been proven not working for quite some time across airlines from AA to CO/UA to DL.
