With respect, your post-- to me anyway-- doesn't seem to take into consideration the topic/posts of the thread. (And/or I think you quoted the wrong post, anyway.)

That was the pattern until about a week ago when this glitch we are discussing here happened. Sine then, nothing appeared for 2017 including the disappearance of Jan 1-3 that were posted.

No, even the non-holiday dates in 2017 are not posting for all domestic flights. Also, for all International flights, they are still posting Saver Z but not Anytime Awards. Both occurred at the same time this glitch happened. If it's that they are rethinking, I have no problem with that. I just hope it's not because someone made an error and yet nobody is willing to pass the message to have them look into it. It'd be nice if they at least try to inquire if it is the intention before rejecting the request.

I just looked at the seat availability of the two flights that would work for my return award booking and the entire cabin is available on either flight.
What are my options? I have to get my PPT-LAX flight ticketed by midnight tonight or loose it. Do I just book it without the continuing leg? And pay $ 150 to add the leg when and if it becomes available?
They won't let me add an Anytime award and refund the extra miles when a Saver Award becomes available, will they?

This is a strange episode, not exactly like any other I can personally recall, off the top of my head.
I just tweeted it (lowexpectations alert!)

Just spoke to an agent and she couldn't provide an explanation why no domestic saver awards were available any where in the US. Asked her if there was a system she could submit a request to but she said there wasn't anything she could do.
Has it ever been the case that AA waits till one day of the month to release all their saver awards?

I struggled with this for a few days and finally just went with an alternative Alaska Airlines flight. Doing so locks in one routing that works but forecloses upgrading to CX F after Mar 22 and changing to a better routing via LAX after that time. Take what you can get, consider buying domestic segments, etc.

I do hope they would have this fix before 3/22. I plan to just ticket the international long haul (3 tickets with various combination of CX and JL and QF J/F) for the time being and add the AA segment home if it becomes available before 3/22 for $150x3 change fee. That way I can still be on domestic first instead of coach on the way home. Or I might just buy the ticket home depending on the price.
