Honestly who knows!! We live in interesting times, AM might be doing a cash grab and preselling their J cabins out cheap. Especially as this fare is valid for just one day. In theory Credit Card would give you protection if they go belly up... But it's hard to tell these days... Personally, I would still book them but it's up to everyone's risk tolerance...

Great coincidence, I was checking similar, works for ICN from the m I'll leave perspective,
34,000 one way if you combine JFK-MEX-SCL-MEX-ICN-MEX-SCL-MEX-JFK, and straight gold for Delta
instead SCL, trying GRU from JFK will get extra miles too
For europe, it is more sweet deal,
$1200 from.BCN-MEX-SCL and adding SCL-MEX-ICN rt earns around 44,000 RDM one way and 65,000 MQM (correct me here if I am wrong)
Good deal

Does it seem to anyone but me that there are way, way too many superdeals for AM on this forum just now? And that maybe those who buy them could end up waiting for tiny or no refunds from a Mexican bankruptcy court (it such a court even exists) sometime in the future? Just feeling very nervous about booking these.

So like what jfkeze said, it depends on your risk tolerance. For me I dropped $650 and can deal with the loss if I'll still not be able to fly in Sept (or still not safe to travel at that point). During normal time I would've pulled the trigger for second trip during Christmas (there's one from Canada - South America) for $900 USD. So $500 - $600 is my risk tolerance, YMMV.
