Independent agents of course do have to sleep and likely have a regular job, so it may take a day or two to make changes vs. a 24 hour agent like Amex (though I seriously doubt Amex can issue RTWs, but would love to be proven wrong).
If there are independent agents either members here or known to members I wish they'd be recognized. I believe there's a forum for tools here somewhere, and award bookers have a page. Or maybe the travel agents have seen the brutal reviews and said, "no thanks".
