SimplyMiles deal.

I was simply way too busy to look into it when it came alive, and recently AA miles have decent value whenever flights to TLV are needed and TLV is closed to foreigners.
Too busy for SMOKING HOT?!?

Oink oink.
Anyway, it still can. USAir audits looked out trackitback accounts very closely and AA audits looked as AAirpass accounts very closely.
The difference here is that Mastercard paid for it, vs the airline feeling that got ripped off. But it will make sense to stay squeaky clean.

Even if MC paid, auditing such an account could wipe the liability associated with those points off their books.

They always have a strict audit department, but the question is will doing this promo put your account on a watchlist?

With AA the only airline flying a 777 nonstop from the US!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Yes. Believe it or not, sometimes I get busy with clients, or with family (or with other things such as mortgage modification, etc.) so I miss the deal and end up pay revenue for the next flight? C'est la vie! It could have come in handy last week, and even then I ended up paying UA rate for I rather than TK, because that's what I had readily available and needed to move fast. I even chose to use UA miles over AC which I had available, because time was of the essence. Not always is price everything. On a side note DW reports that she prefers the DL J hard product over UA.

So I shouldn't have 3 AA award flights for the same day (planning on keeping the one that fits my schedule best..)
Or no point in cancelling once I already made the bookings?

side note: I guess only Jetblue and UA auto cancel?

I would certainly not recommend that.

Good for you. I've blown through mine ages ago (I do work in an industry that's addicted to paperwork). Paper deals have been nonexistent in recent years.
