Also, is R the only bucket GPUs pull from, or should I be looking at other ones as well?
Ok peoples, I need your expert opinion.
I found a RT itinerary IAD-EWR-HKG-SGN, SGN-PEK-EWR-BOS for $1800 in W with R6 on the outbound (EWR-HKG) and R1 on the return (PEK-EWR). I also have a $350 travel cert, bringing down the out of pocket cost to $1450. Now I have a few questions.
1) Is this a good deal for this sort of itinerary?
Preface for second question: I am expected to qualify for 1K on December 22nd, receiving 6 GPUs. I wish I had them now so I could just book this and guarantee the upgrade while it's still available.
2) Should I book this refundable itinerary now, and then call to apply the GPUs on December 22nd (assuming they are still available)? Or should I just hold off until I have the GPUs "in hand".
3) If the GPUs are not available when I call on December 22nd, is the whole ticket truly refundable? How does the refund work? Is it hassle-free?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
