Is there a way to specify using stickers?
Is there a way to get the miles back and stickers used after the fact?
When I have enough stickers in my account the upgrades are automatically deducted from the stickers account, not the miles. Do you have enough stickers for the upgrades?

Does it hurt to call AA and ask that they put back the miles and use stickers instead?
