Just stumbled over this thread again, and thought I'd report on the miles credit.
Having registered my AA FFP #, I actually was surprised to find the DEL-KUL and HND-JFK segments credited within a week and a half. Calling the EXP desk, transfered to CS that could see my registration and said they would "work on it". Immediately recieved an email saying process could take up to 30 working days (!).
Two days later, however, the KUL-NRT segment was also in my account, in good time to have my requalification for EXP 2019 done.
Has anyone any news of this fare has been permanently pulled? For some months now, I'm only getting prices of $10.000+, which doesn't seem like any deal to me
