Whats the best way to get this to be a fare class upgrade? All the fare classes I am finding are the 0.5 points. I am trying to challenge AA and use this 1 trip to get Gold. The SFO-DTW-BOG-DTW-SFO is only 9446 miles, and at 0.5 points it won't get me to the 5K I need.
Any suggestions from SFO, trying not to pay a ton, which takes out higher paid classes? Can I just book online for the lower fare class, and then call and tell them I want it to say economy H, K, M, L, W, V to get the 1.0 points/mile?
