Let's face it, AM is a chickensh!t setup and this is par for the course. I'd check back often as I can only assume once this kink is worked out, availability will show again

Good luck ....... I cannot believe you amassed 40k AM.

40k AM is worth at least $4k in Hilton Canada gift cards, but the best value would be using them for SPG free night certs(unless you are elite and really want the benefits). My father is also someone who has tons of these miles, and it is not worth it at all to use them for long haul flights.
