(This thread is the only place I have ever seen ticket stock mentioned with regard to this program) Within 10 minutes I had paid my €25 and had my confirmation number. It was fairly early US time, and I have no idea where the agent was located. The pdf file I received with my booking confirmation has the US call center information on it.
Cool! ^ I will definitely be using this in the future with US *A awards where I have an LH segment, then. SEA-FRA with a train ride to Berlin, Munich or Cologne sounds like a winner to me, and I already used R&F on Berlin-Leipzig with an AB ticket last year (that AB allowed me to buy in conjunction with a FRA-TXL ticket- this seems to be against the rules, but wasn't going to complain).
