you can waitlist without miles in the account?
You DO need the miles in the account first, I transferred first just 58k so I can waitlist (BTW you can waitlist for multiple dates with the same miles, they don't touch your miles or ask for a CC until it is cleared), than I needed some more miles for the partner airlines.
What is the full routing?
YUL-JFK-FRA-IST-TLV - All in J except of course SQ which is in F.
