I have found the best way to do it without wearing out your fingers is to call CO, and let them wear out their fingers. Then, take the wait list opportunity offered you and hope!!!!!!!!!!!!</font>
Interesting, I didn't know they had waitlists for awards. Can someone give a comprehensive explanation of how these waitlists work? Some questions I can think of:
Can you ask to waitlist for any flight, or do they say "you can waitlist for this, but not for that"?
Can you waitlist for partner flights?
How far in advance do you normally get the waitlisted flight?
Are miles actually taken out, and do you have to pay the redeposit fee if you decide to pull out (i.e., you have to make your go/no-go decision before the waitlist comes through)?
Thanks!
