Has anyone tried to change a ticket after the promo ended? Were you charged extra miles?

Amex and SPG transfer to AP, and the promo was only with AP miles not CO. Why do you ask?

This sale is over, what does it have to do with ur booking?
What do u mean by 'I find a tkt on any of the *A for fewer miles'? SA availability is universal to all the partners. (Except for same-airline) the airline whose miles you're using determines the amount of miles needed.

UR miles don't transfer to so much airlines, so let's say i found a ticket by ANA for 90k and i call con to book it for me, would i have tp pay 120k etc, ??

you always need to book the price that the airline whose miles you are using charges so if ana charges 90k for one route and CO charges 120k if you are using CO miles then even if it is an ANA flight you would need to pay 120k

Saver/cheap availability should be the same throughout the entire alliance.
When you book, it all goes by what miles you want to use. If you want to book with CO miles, you pay CO rates.

so with UR points you could really never get a discount, because only Continental could book it and they would take the mileage they regular charge

Yup. Rep wanted another 55,000  :( that's for changing only one way. I'm gonna HUCA. It was a 4-leg itin on TLV-DFW so the rep had to call a specialized department to see if it was valid, maybe that was why they noticed.

After the 2d call I'm ready to go coach, but now they want me to change the return to coach too  >:(


UPDATE: a few phone calls later, and a stupid rep did it, or at least she claims I'm confirmed and booked  :) FT also says it's a YMMV
