I just gave it a try, but had a backup already in place (on SQ using more precious KF miles). That one I'll cancel and redeposit the miles. Just to rely on LM would have been too much of a gamble as the computer can always say "no" even if they try in time.
Basically the main data point for me was that they seem to pay attention to short time to travel and still try to make it happen. It worked in this case, but as always, one can't rely on it wholeheartedly.
