except it doesn't kick in for SE Priority (1kk) which still shows at 34,000?

IT glitch? I have to call in and fight about the fee?

No, like I said above - the sale is likely only for Classic Awards, not Priority Awards.

Darnit

I booked a one way, ClassicPlus flight from YYZ to PHX on December 18, one day after this promo started (was not aware of promo at the time of booking). I needed the leg to match up with some other flights I was taking, so i booked it, even though it was 45000 points. My question is...are the discounted points shown when looking to book, or will the 25% be "rebated" into my (now light) account? It pained me to book this weenie little flight for that many points, but had to.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I think a ClassicFlight redemption for YYZ-PHX one way is only 15000 miles (12500 right now with promo) -your ClassicPlus redemption is not eligible for the discount under the current promo.

Thanks, Mountaingrl. Too bad. Thought I might get lucky on that one.

One way YYC-ORD-FLL for 2 of us in J for 50,000 + $153.92 in taxes for both of us.
We had to get down to FLL for a cruise, a good use of our miles (not the best) and a saving of cash for an equivalent fare.

I was torn between taking advantage of this one way offer or buying T+ fares and playing aero-lotto with my limited e-points (Altitude35 this year).

It's not the best value. I can book a ticket YQR-MEL (albeit in Y) on UA for 80,000 miles return, plus $201.
