Maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me if they keyed in on the AA Record Locator as they probably don't have access to partner ticket numbers. Also using the record locator would be a catch-all solution (for them) to potential loop holes allowed if they were to use ticket numbers. Time will tell.

In the mean time, I'm planning accordingly and will let others do the real-time research. I'm sure there'll be plenty of complaints when someone doesn't get miles posted due to the 75K limit. But we're getting a bit off the ex-CPT topic. This is probably a good question to raise in the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...un-2016-a.html thread.
