I had a booked Saaver Award ticket, A-B-C. B-C was what I wanted. But now in order to drop A-B and keep B-C, there must be Saaver availability on B-C to complete the change. So this negates the whole intent of unlocking this secret inventory.

This loophole may now be closed, be advised. Anyone getting a different outcome?
Just to be clear, you were ticketed (which I would assume based on “booked”).

Im wondering how they will know it’s a married segment originally. If it’s all connections , this is a huge adverse change impacting award changes.
