Hi Gordon, and thank you for your business. The 1 year service is already discounted as you get 12 months of Premium service for the price of 10. If you don't wish to pay for that up front, you can also go on a month-to-month plan if you don't use it that often as you can cancel and renew as you see fit.

If the year you already paid for has not yet expired, please contact our team at [email protected] to help get you back into your existing account.

Second that! I recently signed up for a trial, but can't justify the cost to make it a paid membership without access to UA.

As was noted in another thread, it looks like this will be resolved: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/13292805-post189.html

Added Alitalia Award classes

We also just added Alitalia (AZ) to the list. We're not 100% sure if the classes are the same for partner redemption, so try it out and let us know what you find.

More Accurate QF Seat Maps

We also just released a feature that allows you to enter your QF Frequent Flyer # on the Preferences tab of the My Account page. When a QF seat map search is done the FF# will get sent with the request and if you have elite status, you'll see available seats that otherwise would show up blocked to everyone else. (We already did this for UA)

If there are other airlines that anyone knows of that do the same thing, please email or PM me and we can easily test it out. Thanks.

You can use ExpertFlyer for an idea of what awards an AA partner may have available. However the only real way to know for sure what quantities partners have made available to AA is to call AA and confirm.

Most of the time, but not all of the time. It's also not class specific. MSP-ATL on 10/12 for example returns 7 options, for both V and G.

When we directly talk to the DL host in order to get the hidden upgrade inventory. A limitation of that method is that the DL host doesn't always return all options in one query, unlike searching for the regular fare class availability from the GDS, which returns as much as we ask it for.
