Sorry to read that, was over fast. I guess similar to a lucrative CC SUB offer, gotta “strike when the iron is hot”*, never know when a nice offer will end. Even if there’s an expiration date it could still change.

FWIW, I suggest trying again in a day or a week or 2, never know when they might restart it.

BREAK

Any thoughts as to the limiting factor for this sort of thing, basically selling AA Club access for 1 year at 20% of typical membership rate? RJ limits, AA limits, OneWorld limits, website overwhelmed, other?

(* "To strike while the iron is hot" means to act immediately and decisively to take advantage of a favorable opportunity or situation before it passes or becomes less beneficial. The idiom comes from blacksmithing, where iron can only be shaped by striking it when it's heated to a high temperature; if it cools, it becomes hard and difficult to work with.)
