After feeding her all the flights, I was informed that I was over the limit of 12,095. To make matters more confusing, the mileage limits are slightly different on the inbound and outbound as I was told that it depends on what cities you route through which is 100% contradictory to what I was told a couple of days ago.

Needless to say, it's back to the drawing board for me until I call in again and get a completely different story on the new rules.
