Yes, sorry. The reason is I want to book using Chase Ultimate Rewards, but they use Expedia's interface. Therefore the flight costs $1200 from EK website and $1700 through Chase portal. I already booked 5 relatives on an EK flight and trying to put the other 2 on the same flight. If Chase hadn't fubared their bonus system I would have gotten the points a month ago and booked all 7 without issue at that time, but Chase is going down the tubes and made me wait an extra month for no reason to receive my bonus points.
