Did you actually cancel an itinerary with MTM certs attached and get them restored, or is this what an agent at the Mosaic line stated?

Data point:
Booked BOS-LAX for early February. Blue fare was $193.10, Mint was $886. Only one MTM certificate was required so I confirmed it right away and was able to select seat 2A.
(Originally I was going to be on AA T321F, but that flight schedule got torpedoed so I was going BOS-JFK-LAX in J, waiting for an upgrade to F on the JFK-LAX route... but for $193, I'll happily take Mint on the nonstop.)

Which seems like, on the back end, the number of MTM certs is probably a function of the fare difference (if you were to buy up with $$) rather than the absolute fare.

The MTM pricing is ridiculous. I booked a RT ticket from BOS to LAS for 2 people. Was hoping to get Mint at least one way (have 4 certs, M3 level) thinking it would be 2 certs per leg. But nope, I get the "Ack. This flight isn’t eligible for a Move to Mint." message and it says "Not enough certificates" on both flights. Does the not eligible message always show when you don't have enough, or does that imply anything different?

So far I see zero Mint seats taken on either flight. Flight is in July, so hoping price drops in the future.
One way costs: Blue fare $344. Mint fare $1315. It had appeared to be roughly 1 cert per $500 in fare difference, so thats what made me think it would be 2 certs per leg.

Yeah I think its more than that now. Tried another flight where price was $200 for Blue and $599 for mint and B6 wants 2 certs, but I found another one where blue is $150 and mint is $1000 and its also 2 cert still. Their dynamic pricing for MTM seems to be just as confusing and manual as their previous MTM process.
