I have about 20 Colombian stamps in my passport, multiple ones from Mexico as well.

I get the SSSS when I go to like MCO for a hockey game lol. At this point my biggest concern is why can I never get TSA pre. I have nexus, I get TSA pre sometimes, but I can't even get it consistently on AC let alone the other airlines I fly.

SSSS is not the only reason IST does not work for me. Another reason is I may have no choice but transit IST later in the itinerary, after first stopover, and I am not allowed to transit one city twice in one direction.

Regardless, my issue now is that Aeroplan blocks all UA award seats beyond 330 days. Which is unacceptable!

How is that unacceptable?
If you want United seats >330 days out - credit your flying to a program that allows that....

Yes, I did that research. And Aeroplan is the program that allows booking award seats ~355 days out.

The UA filtering beyond 330 days appears to be a "technical issue", similar to CA/AV/CM and now LX. Very conveniently for Aeroplan, these are all scamcharge-free airlines.
