Is your BNA-YVR a round-trip?

I can't think of any metric by which my discount should be better than yours.

My mistake - I didn't notice that his second image was from an unrelated account at 50K.

In which case, I guess Cow and I both meet the same criteria for "Status=100K" and "Spend=Lots_But_Not_Crazy".

SE (but 0 flying in 2021) and $22k spend on the black aeroplan Amex in '21 I'm right at what @YOWgary.

FWIW, right now, AC.com would be detecting me coming in from Seattle.

The gap between Y and PY seems like a bargain. However, that is a lot of points for J YYZ-YUL

Flexible reward for less than lowest reward.

Here is a bargain. You can fly Rouge Y, then a prop Y, followed by J for a bargain price of 930,600 miles.
And those amazing layovers!

This is the stuff I forget to remember when completing those AP surveys! I like to add specific examples with my comments instead of common statements like dynamic pricing sucks!

Does that tell us any more about award pricing than the following tells us about revenue pricing?




Or are we just laughing at the places where the Roomba algorithm got stuck in a corner?

Hmm, tough call to save miles by booking Flexible Business and missing out on premium economy. .

it's cheap yes, but taking the train might be better especially if one travels in Y and departing from and to not far from downtown

new math
logged in As SE
looked for below itinerary
was priced at 18.8 and 25.9
regular math = 44 7
was ready to book and AC math 59.5
called help desk some bs prices changing constantly
said ahah np lets book together
they confirmed my quotes were right and also populated on their search
I said np lets book
they tried and AC math prevailed 59.5...
i said fix they said no
I said let me talk to tech they said its a glitglitch...
I said glitch still ipopulating...
they said no..

At 60k I said its cheaper to pay $
45k in PE I said it's okish
Any advice, seems tech and ticketing sticking to AC math despite my proof on website
