i have tried different ways and none of them worked:

(for flights with only XN and no X)

- search in incognito (or not logged in) so it will only show YN. Select the flight in YN and then login right before checkout. It will automatically change to XN at the checkout page
- called 1K desk and tried to have the agent do it manually:
-- first agent claimed YN is not available so HUCA'd
-- second agent tried grabbing YN but once he/she added my MP# and authenticated, the system automatically changed it to XN

the reason why I was doing it is because XN was 15k and YN was 15.1k. YN would've allowed SDC to pretty much any flight within 24 hours
