I'd like to book a DONE4 ex-CMB now that flights have resumed, but it seems I have a problem with this "10 day" rule. I need to book before May (although starting the RTW next Feb) in order to get 20 segments before the new 16 segment rule applies, so it appears I would need to wire the money since I'd have to pick up the ticket within ten days if paying by CC?
I'd rather book with AA, but it seems the results here have been less than encouraging

I simply arrived at the airport and collected my tickets on a turnaround.

Actually, no.
At the time the CX agent had a 3% fee for CC payments; I used international money transfer, saving ~USD200. (See my post here June 28, 06)
I did need to email them a scanned image of my PP photo page.
They would have happily accepted CC payment (with the 3%) - all that would have been required were scanned images of both sides of the CC - still with airport ticket collection.
