Ok. No problem. Just don't say El Al pulled the wool over your eyes
Agent I spoke to said it would be rebooked into W, why should I assume that wouldn't earn miles?
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 think Elal may have pulled a fast one on us and the fares arent really booked into W. Pull up your booking on Elal's website and switch the tab to e-Ticket receipt. You should see "Tour code: *NYC06AUG12" which I'm guessing they grouped this whole botch-up as if its one big "group rate". And lower down on the page it says by the actual flight info "Fare basis: GLAAUSA" and the way back the Fare basis is "NLAAUSA" which I'm guessing corresponds to G and N which is what I was booked on for my stopover yielding only 50%. I'm just thinking that maybe the "W" that we all saw we were booked in was just for them to search for availability in their systems, and the miles are actually going to accrue for G and N fares.

I was pointing out that the rep that Dan spoke to wasn't so misinformed.

I was referring to those who changed only one-way going direct (if it was possible).

The ElAl only portion of the trip (return for me) does not show up on the AA site. The unchanged departure trip shows up on the AA site with the original N & G booking codes.
