Just tried updating Frequent Flyer program info and the error came up:
We had a problem saving your data
This booking code has not been found. Please check that it is correct and try again. If the error persists, you must contact whoever made your booking

What about LATAM flight with IB number? Any idea how to credit it?

Finnair no longer recognising booking codes. So tried Royal Jordanian.
Their message popped up ‘BOOKING ON HOLD, PLEASE PROCEED TO FINALISE PAYMENT BY XXXX’. No sign of the IB segments - only the LA GRU-SCL.
Have just gone back to IB website again - same story as RJ now.
Edit: had previously been able to see all details on IB and AY, with no option to select seats.

And oh boy I do love the fact that one had to call airline to switch away from a toilet seat.

So, if you want an unbelievably great deal to be honored (which is the whole point), do not share it on a publicly accessible forum like this one.
Share it with friends and then you can all enjoy a bargain vacation.
Happy endings for everyone.
It's easy to blame the caller, but let's face it.. it was doomed from the moment it got posted here.
