I'm looking at using my cert for 2018 on the Jul 4 week vacation...I know...it could potentially be a peak time. Our dates are flexible but only by 1-2 days unfortunately.

One plus is we're not sure where we're going yet...DTW to LGA/JFK-MSY-SFO-BOS-SEA...our plans are still wide open. Throw out a suggestion! ha. We just know we're probably going to get away, and would like to burn this cert.

I applied for and was approved for my DL Plat Amex on 10/25/16...so I assume my cert will be avail on 10/25/17.

GENERALLY...is 7-8 months out reasonable to expect a L, U, T, X, V fare to be available?

When it comes to using BOGO people need to remember to get the lowest fare you need not try and travel on a holiday weekend. There are blackout dates too one needs to remember. I've used my BOGO without a problem, but then again, I never try and travel during a holiday weekend.
