He also said there are ONLY 2 SEATS left on those 3 flights... which doesn't seem the case on expertflyer.com on the availability seat map results on those flights. Can you check this again please?
You won't be charged full fare for a one-way redemption, only one-way miles. Sounds like you have problems understanding and communicating with Asia Miles call centre (granted, you have to go a bit Taglish).
But the point is moot because you should be able to add the seat to your existing booking and send to ticketing right away.
If I were you I would've insisted on waiting til the supervisor was available and sorted this out directly.
