How could that be misleading? It instructs you to CALL.
AA.Com has not had the ability to book flights on partner airlines - that is the reason why you need to CALL to book.
Have you called AAdvantage desk FIRST to ask what would be your options?
Lack of knowledge is never a defense or an excuse to get something back due to mistake being made.
The $500 spent would be between you and MX to sort it out if that even can be done. AAdvantage has nothing to do with that.
