P.S. Booking was an Economy->Business upgrade MUM-IST (7 hours longhaul flight) for only 15K points :-). I'm gonna miss the old reward prices ...

I am E+ requalified on the first year of qualification with more than needed in two.
Any of you managed to issue a *A award ticket through call center obtaining a overdraft of miles? (I'm Elite and the reservation is just existing and valid and needs only to be paid).
And what if I book online another award ticket using the overdraft (I've checked and it works) and then I cancel it or try to change it via call center to the other reservation? Will I hold the overdrafted miles? (the 25$ fee is less than transferring/buying miles)
