So any advice on what I should do. I'm actually in AKL on Monday and HAVE to leave on this LONE4 on Wed. I can't afford not to be on the plane?
Also if anyone has the toll free number for AA NZ can you let me know - the one I have is disconnected and I keep having to dial via the Aussie one at great cost in NZ no doubt.
Thanks
It sounds like they don't know how to enter the currency code for the CC charge (absurd!).
AA has no GSA in NZ, but res number is New Zealand 0800 445 442
AA ticket centers info lists nothing for NZ (but has South Africa and lots of countries AA does not fly to!).

If you cannot pay by CC, consider paying by wire transfer. They should be able to handle that (but it takes 2 days, so have to do it now). Western Union is another alternative to bank transfer. Last resort phone AA RTW desk in US and tell them the problem, they can help you though it is not their job and they are very busy these days (also their best agents have retired). Personally I would pursue bank wire transfer by Monday at latest.
