With the death of the award charts, it's no longer clear what the price of the waitlisted award should be.
Exactly. And the most common excuse (lie) is that you are told "oh, you bought a mixed cabin award, so you paid a broken fare of A-B and B-C, and the A-B in X you cannot waitlist for I because of the broken/mixed cabin fare." That is told even in cases where it is a through A-C "I" fare. But of course the agents refuse to look at fare calculation and won't even share it with you (as it would expose their lie).
