Thanks for the courtesy heads-up,

I do worry about the specific text of the promotion vs. the reality of how the promo may be programmed on AGR's computers. Using NE Regional as an example, suppose that one has a "qualifying" roundtrip of $100, but with a $65 fare on the outbound and $35 fare on the return. A perfectly normal roundtrip between two endpoints, but the fares each way differ due to yield management. Unless AGR's computers are now programmed to catch and combine round-trips under the same reservation number, I fear that only the $65 leg would qualify, which goes against the stated terms of the promotion.
Please tell me I'm wrong...or please consider altering the written terms of the promotion.
