Burned by Phantom Partner SQ Availbility
Trying to go IAD or SFO-Hanoi in January and saw the OMAAT post on SQ availability and confirmed through extensive searching that 2 J SQ seats were available through multiple different routings. I took advantage of the Chase transfer bonus but when I went to book every single routing got an error and once I reloaded the availability had disappeared. This happened 4 different times as I try to always have backups when making a transfer.
Obviously my points are stuck in Aeroplan and a 30% transfer bonus is a fine deal, but still very disappointed that I got kind of suckered into making a transfer based on the deceiving availability.
As a points enthusiast this is undoubtedly part of the game but I can't help and feel let down by Aeroplan. Was anyone able to actually book thee SQ partner awards? Does anyone know of any workarounds and if the availability actually exists?
