I was going to ask you if that was a new workaround, because that used to not work as the website was hardcoded to only accept Atmos as the loyalty program for award bookings. But I decided to instead just try it since I have such a profile (created for revenue bookings)… and guess what, the restriction to Atmos seems gone in the new UI. No special profile required, I can just freely select the loyalty program and enter the number I want for any partner.

Bug? Or did they really remove the restriction?
