The website clearly states you cannot book a flight that departs within 72 hours, but this is for a flight several months away. I read her the language, she says she knows what it says, but she had just gone through this with another passenger and their system will not allow them to book anything on any date until after the person has been a nominee for 72 hours.

Is this correct or do I need to do another HUCA? If the info is incorrect I'll just add my nominees now before I call again so they're in the system, but she was very insistent that this is how it works.
why can't you book this online yourself? Roundtrip with 1x complimentary stopover can be booked online so long as you select Advantage fare class. Unless you are trying to book a Star award..
