Bonus is calculated at the time of Multiplier purchase and is not affected by changes to your itinerary, however miles are forfeited if you cancel or otherwise don’t complete your reservation.
If my travel plans change and I don’t use my ticket, will I get a refund for my Multiplier miles?
No, multiplied miles are non-refundable and post to your account within 5-7 days.
seems confusing, will give a try

sfo-phl-tlv is 8k miles base
R/t is 16k miles
If CP = 16k miles bonus
If F / C = 8k bonus
Total = 40k miles
This you would get anyway
Now for the 2x multiplier you get 40k more miles= 80k
For the 3x multiplier you get 80k more miles = 120k
With the promo you now get 50% bonus = 60k more miles = 180k total
Of this 40k is original
140k is Bonus miles from the DMM = 1200$ cost
Assuming anyone who worries about small change sis not flying paid C
16k base,
32k with CP
+32 = 64k with DMMx2
+64 = 96k with DMMx3
+48 = 144k with DMMxbonus 50% = 112 new miles for 1198
R/t is 16k miles

What's the rush? Won't the MM still be available after the bonus? So for those who want to buy refundable fares get miles for 1.2cpm, can't they do it later when there is less controversy? I mean theoretically you can get 100k miles for 1198 dollars, and then spend like a 100 bucks more and then go first class to north asia from na by doing this? What's hindering everyone and what's with the fuss about the 50% bonus, for those who are not actually flying?

DATAPOINT - got an error when trying to get the multiplier today on the TLV route. Flight cost went through, but multiplier transaction did not.

Ok im quite tempted to buy 100k miles at 1.2cpm but I wont be able to fly it.
So I should book a fully refundable ticket way out, and then redeem the miles first and fly the redemption tickets, then cancel the initial flight?
I'm seeing reports of accounts being locked for just 1 attempt on this.
