There's also a thread. Fare alert got the deal off flyertalk (not that it's a surprise)

Only good for returning 2 days from the departure date, and only good from the specified cities. February dates are still working, as are some January dates.

This is also not correct. I've found several dates throughout February and March (out of ABQ, IND, and ATL) where you can get six days out of it. In fact, I've held a 2/12-2/17 ABQ-ACA, just in case I change my mind and pull the plug.

Mine are now Ticketed (~1h after purchasing).

Judging by the seatmaps, tickets are going really really fast esp for the weekend mentioned (Feb 10-12).

Thx izzik, hope it all works out.

--edited to note that mine were Ticketed successfully.

why do the gateway cities have to be so far from where i live.
i held a few trips from atlanta during spring break, maybe ill find something cheap into atlanta that will make this worth it...
atlanta seemed like the cheapest place on that list to get to from the NE.

On Orbitz, I can get it to price as zero, but when I hit "Select" it says fare is no longer available.

Usually a sign that the jig is up!

Try using the flexible date search option at American's website. I was able to price out two tickets for just about any set of dates I wanted in January from ATL to ACA for a total of $210. Examples: priced 1/14-1/21, 1/7-1/13 and a few others.
