Update: One of the emails from LanPass appologized for two phone agents giving me incorrect information. She then stated that if I would have told the agent I had a discounted ticket, then she would have given me the correct info. So I called the LanPass number again, mentioned that I had a discounted ticket(not-that I received a discount) and gave the fare basis. The agent said all segs would qualify.
I then called the big boys in Chile to double check the rules but got disconnected two times in a row after I pressed the prompt for English. Afterwards I called the UK and Francesca asked me to fax it to her and she would manually input the flights. I asked her about the specific inventory and she said all flights were acceptable.
Apparently everyone but the supervisor in MIA that I originally faxed my BPs to thinks that the flights should qualify.
Tedhl: Yes, I could fax them to AE but I would much rather them be in my LA account. AE awards are a little less "valuable" in my book compared to LA. Actually, the awards in LA are pretty much the same as AA. The 160,000 km bonus gets me a First class trans-atlantic AA flight which is equivalent to 100,000 miles on AA. Other awards are also very comparable.
As for other carriers, I have segs for AA and BA for the bonus and LA was my next choice followed by AE. I actually had enough segs for 5 carriers but chose to go for only 3 bonuses because 1)I wanted to qualify for EXP on AA 2) I found certain carriers awards to not be very useful with the number of bonus miles awarded and or 3) I was not 100% certain I would qualify for the bonus on certain carriers.
The rules, emails and other information I gathered off this board and from airline sites and responses indicate that I would not qualify for the bonus on CX, QF, AY and IB. The intra-continental seg not qualifyingfor the bonus knocked out AY, CX and IB while QF, CX and IB needed a stop-over of 24 hours. I didn't want to take any chances.
If anybody has any documentation that proves the above paragraph incorrect, I may be needing it in a few days if I can't get this settled.
