Beg at the gate or RCC. Calling and asking will not work.

I would also say if you can avoid having a seat assignment, do so. That way you'll be first to be stuck into E+.

Basically, just start in SJU, then route back through the mainland U.S. before heading down to S. America. You'll need to take either CO or AC from SJU, because UA or US F from SJU would bump the redemption up to full F prices for the whole itinerary (CO and AC only count as C in the front cabin).

Is SJU-YYZ-EZE a valid routing?!?!

Yes. There are no direct :-: Alliance flights between SJU and the S. American continent. How else do you get there, unless connecting via YYZ/EWR/IAD/CLT/IAH/ORD/etc?

No reason you couldn't toss in some JJ and an extra AC segment to make it SJU-YUL-YYZ-LIM-BSB-GRU/GIG-EZE :D

I still have to shop for dinner since it's the last day of the earning period and I'm $100 short to get the 500 CO bonus miles. :(

With a price plus card at ShopRite. It used to be you got 1 mi for every $2 spent but recently you have to spend at least $1K/quarter to get any credits. When the boy is at school I'm always too low but the eating machine has greatly increased my expenses this quarter.:rolleyes:

Is there a way to backdoor the ana tool, or do I just need to suck it up and buy kvs.

So in my case it would be best to re-position to ORD? No F on AC or CO out of BNA. Something like:

Positioning flight (WN, UA, OneWorld USA): BNA-CHI
*A: ORD-(connection)-EZE
OneWorld USA: EZE-DFW-BNA

Do gift cards count toward the credits (like they do for gas discounts at Kroger)?
