What I didn't know is that the 10% rebate or 10K miles posts immediately upon redemption and I only needed 100k miles (110k less 10%) making the transfer unnecessary.
Guest relations would not buy this argument and refused to reverse the transfer.
Has anyone else had this issue?
You need to pay the full amount first, 110K miles. Then you get your 10% rebate. This is not the same as a 10% mileage reduction in award. A rebate comes after full payment.
