Did anyone ever get clarification/success calling in and having lounge membership cost split across two cards?

I called in and they were quite willing to split this across my Amex Platinum and Gold for $300 off. After 75K discount it was 'free' to me except that I'd already used $20 of my Amex airline fee credit.

I have a $98 credit voucher for Alaska Airlines from a flight I cancelled last year due to not being able to travel due to Covid restrictions. It is due to expire on January 26th. Is there anything I can do to try to preserve this credit or should I just write it off? I think I can convert it to a wallet fund but I think that too will have the same expiry date? I'm unsure. I don't live in the US so I won't be flying with AA in the immediate future, although would possibly use it next year.

I've got a large amount of Krisflyer (Singapore Airlines) points locked up due to COVID-19 cancelations. I'm looking into other ways to use those points and the partnership with AS looks promising.
I'd like to search award availability from SEA-SJD, J/F class, flexible dates in June/July 2022. Looking directly on AS, I see lots of options... However looking on BA.com, don't get anything. Not even on the cheapest F flights (30k).
Can someone break down how I can identify/search for AS Awards that are bookable by partners?

Might I suggest a separate elite line for the AS customer service in N concourse? Lengthy lines there this week, of course.

Cancelled Flight
First (saver) ticket. No AS status. Just got notification of a flight cancellation (outbound only on RT ticket) for 1/10. MCO-SAN No luck on rebooking yet. Can I get the one leg refunded and book alternate airline and keep my return?
i only booked AS because non-stop. Really don’t wanna connect in SEA. If they rebook what are the chances I will stay in F?

thats what I’m doing (cringe WN) but was hoping for some certainty in at least a full refund. Would still like the F return leg if it happens. Current AS wait time stated was 10 hours.

I just booked another outbound flight on another airline. I can’t get ahold of AS. Even tried text. Seems unlikely I hear from AS before my trip. Will I get a refund on my AS ticket? Can I save my return ticket on AS since I definitely won’t be taking my outbound trip since AS cancelled the flight and rebooked me on a convoluted new ticket?

was just rebooked to a fight that’s now an overnight layover in SFO. No hotel comp of course but I don’t want the flight have morning meetings which is why I came in day before.

My question is more about getting a refund and not shooting myself in the foot on the return.

Reading through the Alaska flight cancel threads it seems like the transcon flights are getting cancelled the most right now (to include to/from Seattle). Just be on the lookout to see if your return leg is impacted in the next few days.
