When planning for renewal of status, I'd rather have certainty. Do you know one place where one would be guaranteed it would be considered a special fare? For the Amex as an example again, the "insider fare" deals will guarantee it. Do you have any example of guaranteed mileage based earnings omn THIS fare? AA vacation for example?
A while ago there was a blog article about Amex insider fare deals that no one could ever find. Do you have any info on it?
Thanks
