My partner and I are trying to book SYD-EWR-FSD-SYD award tickets separately covering 5 weeks in May/June 2017 so we will be on the same flights.
When she goes into the award booking site there are a huge amount of options on our preferred dates which allow her to complete the journey for 80k points.
When I go into the site the same options are not available. In fact there are virtually no saver options at all for those two months eg. they want 62.5k points just for the EWR-FSD leg!
The only difference I can see is that I have an account registered with an Australian address and my partner a USA one.
What are my options?
Wait?
or pay for the same flights once she has booked hers on points?
Thanks
*** Update ****
I have just been reminded she has a United Chase CC and I dont
