Thank you!

Great tip! Thanks very much for this!!

As an aside, my BXP1 upgrade shows booked into D booking class. Is that probably because they had to "force" the space open to get me back into first? I'm just wondering if I'll get a few "bonus" eqm's.

This is fantastic, thank you.

In my experience, you get EQM credit for the fare class of your ticket. May be best to let sleeping dogs lie if I'm understanding your post correctly.

I have a voucher for C1-C2 round-trip in F expiring on Dec 28, 2016. What are my best options to avoid it just expiring if I cannot find anything useful (on 77W) - that is apart from "selling it" against the T&Cs?

Should I just book any F round-trip as far out as possible, and hope I make change within the next 12 months?

Thank you

Given the extreme paucity of AA saver-level inventory, AA really ought to let folks return vouchers requiring such inventory. I see strong grounds for a DOT complaint, informal or formal, if AA refuses to do so. Scibuff, you could ask Business Extra staff for that flexibility in light of AA's limited inventory, and failing that consider seeking assistance from DOT.

A DOT complaint over 77W inventory less than 30 days out? Seems like a reach, but you are the DOT complaint expert.

To be honest, I've been on a lookout for saver 77W space since February ...

The complaint isn't about a particular instance of poor to no inventory. It's about a widespread practice of same, arguably violating DOT's guidance about the level of availability that must be offered if a carrier wants to "advertise" a fare or redemption ("advertise" meaning telling people about it, not just buy TV ads and whatnot). And then when a consumer believes the carrier's statement and tries to redeem, the consumer finds it can't be done -- and backing up (to switch to some other redemption) purportedly requires paying a fee. I can definitely see the DOT being receptive.

Some folks might enjoy this DOT guidance from 1994:

return the voucher and pay $150 fee to reinstate the points. I did that a few months ago for a BXP3 that we couldn't use.

Am I understanding you correctly. I have a BXP3 that will expire eoy and was unable to find a fare class to use it this year. AABusinessExtra will reissue points in exchange of 150.00?

I just called Business Extra to try and redeem two BXP1 certificates for two passengers (including myself) flying SFO-JFK in February. The agent said there was availability and booked us into First. On my AA account, the flight shows us as being in First, and I am able to select seats in that cabin.

Two questions:
1. Does this seem correct? I would have expected to be booked into Business on a three-class plane. Is there any risk here?
2. Do I need to fill out all the information on the front of the certificate before arriving at the gate, or will the gate agent do that? (And if there's a risk the upgrade won't clear, should I risk filling out the certificate in ink?)

I inquired and yes they will do that. It is $150 for the first one and if you are doing multiple at the same time is is $25 for each additional ones.
