In other words, should I waitlist for one-way tickets? One-way INBOUND, and one-way OUTBOUND?
They will deduct one way miles when you fly the outbound and then when your inbound is clear deduct another one way miles.
Then they will credit you the difference of 2 one way vs 1 round trip tickets IF and only if they are ONE redemption.
If your inbound never clear and you only fly the outbound you get charge miles for one way ONLY.
So book them into one round trip redemption unless you have lots of miles and don't really care about the difference
