What do you think should have happen? Date of purchase should have priority over Fare Class?
Well, this is exactly how it works on AA, so the poster is more than welcome to switch programs if that's what's important to him.

But then we'll probably hear him complain when he has to purchase a $750 last minute ticket and is the last 100k on the list, with the $250 fares sitting up front.
