Glad you were able to take advantage. Thought it was just an error on my browser.
Not as helpful to me - too many high-YQ airlines from YOW. Not much UA avail when I need to go.
But in true Buy Now, Think Later FT fashion....if i am to cancel, the surcharges/taxes are refundable too, correct?

You can only fix what you are aware of. Revenue management certainly looks at daily reports, but if they're out til Monday you end up with Expedia's nightmare from last year.

Some routes are shown as normal amount of miles. Some, like NA-Europe2 show 75k across the board for Y, J, F, but if you try to choose F, it changes to 105k. Mini-RTWs are 75k in Y and J and 125k in F. It is clearly an error, and not a surprise sale. I would say if you book on the website, then the booking will be honored. But it you call to change it, you'll have to pay the difference in miles.

Not to be a party pooper but people are aware that it is at least a possibility that AP will not honour bookings made at these rates right? I mean I would definitely make a booking if I didn't have a mini-RTW for next year booked already, but you should at least be aware that it's possible they may come looking for the remaining miles / cancel the booking on you...

True... but generally when companies do that they give a 'gift' of some sort. For instance, when Airmiles declined to give me my 5x 42" Plasma TVs for 100 miles apiece in 2005, they deposited 1,000 miles into my account as an apology. Similar stories exist on all sorts of mistakes; it is a low cost method of reducing the potential for bad press.
