Anyone else tried one of these and had the same problem?

Also, perhaps more importantly, has anyone that has been using the 5,000 mile for $75 e-certs, have they been booking into "L" fares? I wanted to use a couple of these for mileage runs before Feb 28 to get the 3 for 25k. It wouldn't be worth it if they are only for "T" or better also.

Thanks
the "t fare" may be the only the thing "the dear old bomb" will show you. you might have luck calling and then holding the reservation where you can then either go to the airport or mail in the cert to ticket and n.b. you should not be charged any ticketing fee as you are using paper and have the agent note the reservation accordingly. if they balk, hold the reervation and call back back as the cert profile indicates that the fee is waived but the agent has to look at the profile.
