Thanks for the tip man! I had to be extra persistent when I called back. She kept telling me she didn't have anything and I kept telling her i'm looking at it on the website and explained that I won't transfer points until I know that it is bookable. She puts me on hold and then comes back and says I can reserve a business class seat it until November 23 and book as long as points come in before then.
Whew. Nobody ever said the points game was easy.
