1) Is this because EY is running a promotional 30% off, so maybe that guestsaver isn't available to partners? This is for an Oct-2020 flight and the flight schedule appears to have just changed in the last few days, so perhaps it hasn't loaded to AA?
2) Also I read in the wiki, that its risky to modify the awards, is there an alternative so that I don't screw up my award?
3) I booked the award flights originally in Feb-20, I am grandfathered in to the old AA award changes structure whereby I don't get charged if I get keep the origin and destination the same and thus can make unlimited changes, correct?
Thank you!
EY doesn't have to give its partners the same award space as its own members and to be fair, airlines across the board do this.
I have done AUH-MLE many times and often had the entire F cabin to myself so keep checking availability.
