I dont think its B&S just a glitch among 1000s of others. To me it seems if you want to purchase it you will have to cough up the higher amount they want, no different with Orbitz I can stand on my head till I turn Blue, Orbitz isnt going to sell me the tkt for the lower price they showed before I clicked onto it
No no. You can and do get the lower "advertised" rate. I have no idea why the price doubles when you put in your number but you for sure get the original price offered once you re load

I tried this several times with different combinations (only my number, only my wife's number, first mine then hers and vice versa) and the same thing happens: when I click on "Add more miles for $321" , the higher $504 price is shown on the purchase confirmation page.

What's the best way to proceed from here?
If you call MP from your computer they will complete the purchase for you (w tech support - it takes a half hour
