Is an Morocco city a good candidate?

It was booked directly on DL website almost 11 months ago. Four of six flights were on Air France. Perhaps, AF has more restrictive triggers.

I used my own credit card issued in USA. I flew to Morocco.

It was an international ticket, as indicated at the beginning of my post. It was not a last-minute purchase.
