Again, your initial claim was erroneous (and based on a confusing Agent comment) and now you seem to be realizing that.
I have a lot of respect for you and your contributions to these boards, JonNYC. I do beg to differ in your assessment that my initial claim was erroneous, or tangibly different from my most recent summation. The only thing I did not know was that
#3 was rolled out at the
same time as
#2 . My point all along has been that
#3 is additive to
#2 and was a conscious 2nd step taken by American, not a necessary side effect to the expansion of married segment award availability. While
#2 was positive,
#3 was a very negative move.
Maybe I'm the only one on these boards that was unaware of
#3 when
#2 was proudly announced by American last year, but I doubt it.
