It cost me $300 to put 440,000 miles back in our accounts but I got our desired destination and dates, I got them on one PNR and I was able to use knowledge gained on FT to realize 105,000 miles X 2 is worth the change fee. So, thank you FT advisors. Anyone new or unsure ASK questions and read topics you don't even realize you need to read.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the OP have been charged $175 (not $300) to reinstate the miles from 2 roundtrip award tickets?
