I've called a couple times to try this out. First person told me this is not possible and I would need 2 coupons used for this strategy. Second person attempted this manually, but while on phone she told me it automatically applied RPU to both. So I was then waitlisted on long seg, RPU cleared on short seg. I requested for the RPU to be redeposited
you were unlucky and go two incompetent agents -- if you get this issue in the future, ask for a supervisor and make this a training moment.

Generally Friday afternoon is a poor opportunity for CPU but the R availability suggests the flight might be a CPU opportunity.

Never, ever had an issue with this, very puzzling -- as said earlier, if you get this issue in the future, ask for a supervisor and make this a training moment.
