Pretty much -- the catch is with doing SDCs is making sure the coupons match up (sfogate might be to expand on this) with AA and CO, not sure about UA.

Anyways in my case I had two coupons for my one-way fare: AUS-DFW (1) and DFW-MCO (2). I *think* that when AA and CO do a SDC, the easiest way - and the way the agents prefer - is to simple associate the coupons to new flights without creating additional ones.

In other words as I had two coupons I had two flights (duh) and the easiest way for AA to process the SDC would simple be to put in two, as oppose to one, three, four, etc. other flights as any creation (or deletion?) of coupons requires the ticket to be reissued.
And when it comes to reissuing tickets, it seems most agents will clam up or suddenly start to pay much more attention to the rules.

In Austin the AAgents were more than willing to let me bounce through ORD (AUS-ORD-MCO) as I'm *assuming* they did not have to reissue the ticket. When I pushed for my AUS-LAX-MIA-MCO route I'd need an extra coupon, hence a reissue, hence the agents hesitation as the routing I was proposing was not within the original rules of the fare.

The good news - and what saved my bacon - was the vast and sweeping powers GA's have in the system. Only at the gate was I able to convince the agent to change the routing, and the only reason she agreed to it was, "we're really not suppose to let you, but we can bend the rules for an EXP." (and an employee appreciation cert might have helped sway her.)

Bottom line -- when you're trying to create coupons, (and are not flying UA) you've gotta reissue the ticket - and that means you've got to have an ace up your sleeve (like the SDC) to avoid a reprice and be working with a cool agnet.

Lest some may get the wrong idea of late spring in AUS, though, as they say, ya shoulda been here yesterday.

My Shop OnePass miles never post soon anything. Months always for me. I have to say, UA & US are stellar in that department always posting in 3-7 days.

Surprisingly, all my CO miles post rather quickly.:confused:

Contact Customer Service. I used to work for Nabisco and I know they take this seriously.

You've piqued my curiosity, sir: a local police officer who is also a Plat. Do you get to go on extradition runs? Prefer overseas vacations? Do mileage runs?

And, slightly off that question, what can, or do, you do with your weapon when traveling?

I tried to call the number on the package, but they're only open Monday - Friday. :td:



I actually ate one before realizing that there was something on the bottom of them. :rolleyes:
