Don't take time to decide. If it's decent, book it. It's completely refundable (including fees) right up to takeoff.
You can also do a 5 day hold but not all partners will honor them for more than a day. I would just book it. If you find something better (or can't find a return) cancel.
I believe that UA also has free cancellations (but not free holds) so the same advice applies. If it looks like it might be decent, book it first and think about it later.
Too late. All the desirable flights on AA and UA, within my time frame, are gone. And now, even Krisflyer is starting to jack up prices, from 111,500 miles, to over 143k. This happened while I was waiting for my CSP points to transfer.
I don't know why Krisflyer is the only airline program in *A where points don't transfer instantly, like everyone else. It's genuinely frustrating.
