For a whole day, I kept getting this "married segment married segment" klaxon in response, and a "your ticket will either cost 2 1/2 times the Matrix price or have 10 hours of air time at 0% AQM." However, a second day of emailing a different agent produced the flights I wanted, all earning AQM, within an exchange rate's fluctuation of the price Matrix found. Matrix is just smarter than the average TA, I think.
