I tried online as multi destination, but it brought me to an error page.
I called, and they were able to sell me one ticket at 80K (LAX-AMS), and the second ticket for 25K (AMS-CPH). But I really wanted it on one ticket.
I then went back to mult-city and did an overnight in AMS. That got me the rate of 105K (basically the two tickets added). I purchased it.
I then called DL to ask about moving my connection flight to omit the overnight. They saw the inventory but had to force it through. In the end, they refunded 25K miles.
So I got LAX-AMS-CPH for 80k!
It really pays to be persistent.
Yeah, you were lucky. They are not supposed to "over rule" married segment logic.
