This is the outstanding question. CO's official statement is that such bookings are not permitted at the "normal" rates. Reality seems to differ and I know some truly interesting redemptions that have been successfully ticketed. But the official policy is what it is and should the system kick it out there isn't much recourse.
Plus the OP is trying to go to Australia, not SE Asia.
