Thank you
ACflyerDE and
canadiancow for making me notice that I didn't get credit for EI6909/6906 last year. Of course the automated system rejected my claim because the airline has no record of my ticket, so email sent to customer service...

Really? I would not have expected that!

Without commenting on the quality of customer service at either company, it does add an additional entity to any problem resolution. An when you have a multi-leg journey, a change/cancellation of flights is not unheard of.
That is, in fact, the sort of information I'm after.

That is my preference as well. But I need to at least consider the options with the nearly $3000 fare difference. I'm also particularly concerned about getting the SQD and 100% from the promo because if I took this trip, it would be my MR to get to SE this year.
