Book your flights but make sure the agent removes the old FFP and ends the transaction first. Then retrieves the booking again to put in new FFP info.

If the agent just inputs the info on reservations and something causes it to have a simultaneous operation ie, the file cannot close, then the new FFP info will be lost when agent ignores and retrieves booking.

To make sure that you get your preferred FFP in, call MH and ask them to remove the existing FFP entirely on the res. Then after the above, put in the new FFP.

Good luck. Enrich may not be able to remove miles already credited to your account.
Thanks GB. I'm going to KL Sentral today anyway and will get the Enrich Office to remove the existing FFP on all my reservations booked so far. I hope they'll be able to recredit my AA account and decredit (is there such a word?) my Enrich aacount.

Will let you know what hapens. Thx.
