Same here. It loads on all their sites but errors out. Every other OTA I'm seeing it reprices it to $2522. Still a good fare but not much in the way of EQD with it booking into Z.

That said, using multi-city directly on LATAM US site, I was able to add SCL for no additional cost. My routing is MIA-SCL-GRU-JNB-GRU-MIA, on 4/16 - 5/1. SCL-GRU books into J for 25% EQD on AA.

I already have a trip planned to JNB/CPT so this saves me the 150k AA miles I was burning on QR and gets me closer to EXP for 2018. Will miss out on the Q suite though (for now)
