I'm trying to set up a flight award notification and keep getting an error msg that says "The flight details provided do not match any scheduled flight."

The problem I imagine has to do with the flight number - AA980 which runs in a loop MIA-SSA-REC-MIA. Expertflyer recognizes my award notification request for AA980 MIA-SSA but NOT for AA980 SSA-REC or REC-MIA. Can you please fix this bug. Is there some way that I can save an award notification for AA980 SSA-REC-MIA? Many thanks.
