I've had them pull that crap before, but it always gets straightened out in the end. The vast majority of the agents genuinely want to help you get your desired itinerary; many times, however, they either don't know how to do such or their systems, or those of their *A partners, screw them over.

I had no trouble booking my last partner reward, however. And, after the original was booked, I had no trouble making changes. All the changes I made after the original was booked took less than five minutes, if that's any consolation to you.

If it's cheap, she will consider it. To be a fly on the wall at her family gatherings...seven minutes in, every conversation devolves into prices of items and whether or not they can be deemed cheap.

It doesn't get much cheaper than central Asia.

On CO metal, sure. Since I gave in to budgetary and other :rolleyes: and we're going to Mehico para el honeymoon, I've already told her that I want to burn the miles and go to Europe on a Star reward in the next few years. She has no desire to go TPAC, quite correctly citing that Asia is a more advanced level of travel than she can handle. She fairly consistently has to remind me that she is not as well-traveled as I, and I counter with my admission that I'm wet behind the ears compared to most of Teh Box.
