Yes the reservation will not go through. You'll need to wait for the seats to come back (if they do) and try again.
I booked SQ J from SIN-FRA on the A380. After inputting my credit card details I got the credit card error. I called lifemiles, held for about 5 minutes whilst they checked and was told that I'd receive the e-ticket in the next 24 hours. 2 hours later, the e-ticket arrived. caveat: I am Spanish and had no problems communicating. Experiences in English may vary. |

In my experience your statement is incorrect.

I think your lm number is already attached to the ticket no?

Calling when booking a tricked itinerary is a bad idea.
SQ 77W and 388 J space shows up pretty frequently on the search, without forcing dates or carriers. Suites needs tricks though, so I hear. |
I'm still seeing C2 to C1 very happily

Booked a well known tricked route and got the message "could not process credit card payment ...bla bla... please call our call center". PNR created, miles are still there. Obviously I don't want to call. Anyone had this before ? Will the reservation just be canceled if I don't call and thus no payment will go through ? Any help appreciated |
IMHO the now unavailable boomerangs have nothing to do with a change of LM's internal award space search algorithm.
Every (!) boomerang that used to been available on LM could be found in the Amadeus timetable so it was my conclusion that LM uses the Amadeus timetable for route search and then checks class availability on the segments found within that timetable. When you now search for the same boomerangs in the Amadeus timetable, they are gone. To verify my hypothesis, I did just a random search for "forced carrier" boomerangs within the Amadeus timetable and did found for example a C3-C2-C2.5... ... and: This boomerang still shows up in LM. Final conclusion: LM did not change anything within their algorithm... BUT... Amadeus changed it's timetable search algorithm. |

Totally pathetic attempt if so. Seriously this thread may as well cease to exist. Everything is known. Nothing is new, and the sad attempts at coding are just giving it all away. |

For the sake of clarity: The credit card error appears on both tricked an non-tricked itineraries. In my experience, a phone call quickly clears things up and ensures that you are ticketed. However, if your itinerary is tricked, it is best not to call. You should wait 2 days and if you still see no e-ticket. If no ticket, move on. |
