This happened 3 times on separate days, on different flights.

Is this really just someone else clicking faster than me for the same award flight? Or is something else going on?
Sometimes it errors out but shows the reservation in your account (as "on hold") and cancel itself after a day or so
1) call them and have them issue the ticket (you probably still have to pay)
2) cancel the "on hold" reservation and the award space should be available again soon thereafter
