Those -are- similar!
Just to be clear, did you re-issue with AA or BA? I'm guessing BA?
I think what I may actually do is re-issue with BA MRU this time, now that I think about it, and then switch to AA after I do S. America (especially since I'm not currently planning a single AA segment in/to/from S. America!)
I should throw in your LIM-EZE... but I may keep it relatively simple instead and do the extra segments elsewhere.
Thanks for the excellent info (now and before.)

However, the whole process did take about 2 hours (even though I had received approval on the whole itinerary several weeks ago on the phone with the RTW desk). The only extra charge was the reissue fee of $125 even though I added 2 segments to bring it up to the full complement of 20. So no extra charges for the two new stopovers or any extra fuel charges.
Incidentally my next segments are similar JFK-EZE,SCL-IPC-SCL-LIM-EZE-JFK-HKG-...
