To clarify the above, you need to call AAdvantage Customer Service, not the normal reservations number, and they will be able to credit those segments.

So I have one of these booked for Dec. Have been trying and trying to get it changed. There is C and D inventory on the flights and expert flyer shows the fare as existing into March. But the call center is useless. I have been emailing customer support and they are claiming it will be $5000 (even on dates where I see the fare buckets). So I guess I just cancel and give up?

Just stumbled over this thread again, and thought I'd report on the miles credit.
Having registered my AA FFP #, I actually was surprised to find the DEL-KUL and HND-JFK segments credited within a week and a half. Calling the EXP desk, transfered to CS that could see my registration and said they would "work on it". Immediately recieved an email saying process could take up to 30 working days (!).
Two days later, however, the KUL-NRT segment was also in my account, in good time to have my requalification for EXP 2019 done.
Has anyone any news of this fare has been permanently pulled? For some months now, I'm only getting prices of $10.000+, which doesn't seem like any deal to me

Flew this a bit ago, and as another data point for anyone still flying it (or if it comes back) had no issues with the miles for all segments posting to AA easily. Glitches were only an international (CMB) to international (KUL) transit in BLR that confused airport staff but worked out in the end, and having a NRT-HND train transfer, which was fine, just took some doing. For a trip report, almost finished putting together the video series if it helps anyone: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...34uFUZk2fDVxeq

Pretty sure this one wont come back anytime soon. Due to safety downgrading, MH cannot code share to the US. This fare requires that and so i think was pulled as a result.

Malaysian carriers can maintain existing codeshare with a non-American carrier. Their codeshare with CX/QR/JL etc. to US remains. AA/MH can't code share on each other's metal and Malaysian carriers can't mount additional services to US.
