I said I realize that, but the AA website is showing that there is space available, and that it is available for SWUs, and it pulls from the same inventory. He made some stuff up about how with SWUs and Miles + CoPay, you're giving something up, so they don't necessarily make the same space available.

I thanked him, hung up, called back, and got an agent who was able to see it immediately and apply the BXP1. Always, always, always, HUCA.
Is BXP1 supposed to work just like SWU?
If so, why didn’t you ask for waitlisting in the first place if C is not available?
Maybe I am not following...
