UR portal isn't an award ticket.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

+1.

But you can't call UR to book same day?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

  I called the travel center, and they wouldn't allow me to book a flight on points because it's the same day.

That's true with everything in this game.

DP's aren't that someone got told they *couldn't* do something, that's why we have HUCA and DROPR

DP's are when you can do something.

I won't disagree that it may have changed but I doubt it.
