Had you booked from the same account you would have just paid the expedite fee once +$25 and the cancellation would be $150 once + $25.  But otherwise it will be $150 for each one unless you find a really nice agent.

A shame you had to blow 150K on 3 domestic tickets, are they at least in First?

It is a big shame. It was a matter of a few hour between the time she booked and your replies. And btw this is for domestic.
If your CO idea would for sure work and you'd be willing, id definitely get on the phone with aa and start begging.

The nonstop CO flight is gone now  though there may be some stop flights via CO/UA.

For the future, did you check about business or first on AA? Those can often be had in Saver for the same rate as coach standard.

Also the AA expedite fee is quite "negotiable"

The 300 was bec from 3 separate accounts...

 Once you paid no sense begging as gehanim will freeze over before they would give you even a nickel back, before having paid it is a different circumstance

CO award codes:
-X coach saver award
-XN coach elite saver award for CO Silver/Gold/Plat only.
-I First or BusinessFirst saver award
-O First or BusinessFirst elite saver award for CO Plat only.
dan where would i find these symbals when lookin for award flights? if im not elite would i be able to see the availability for xn and o so i could at least ask some elite member to book them for me or would the elite member be the only one  able to check availability?

On 07/15 there's a LGA-IAH-LAX CO flight with XN availability.
Nothing on 15 or 16, on 08/17 there's a LAX-JFK nonstop on UA.
25K+$7.50
