Thanks. I read the detailed fare rules of my DFW>MAD and also just did a historical lookup on the same. The only entry in the Sales Restrictions was that it wasn't available in Iran.
So I suppose that it if there isn't a sell-by restriction, then the carrier can shut down the fare at any time.
When I priced things in Galileo, it would say must be ticketed by 06 Mar 13. But I think that was just for the "must ticket within 72 hours" holdover rule when you had to show up at the travel agency or city ticket office with a check or cash.
Anyway, the moral of the story is when a deal like MADness happens, act now!
