LAX-JFK Delta "J"class thru hidden city (holiday time, cheapest ticket is $2300 with zero mileage tickets available anywhere)
56K MR x.5 (rebate)-3702 (earn) AS miles =24,298
i think I did pretty well....
That's almost like a free ticket.

AS are worth a pretty penny but you're right, that's why I said "almost."

Enjoy!
it depends which fare class you booked into

Would this be correct for the fare class?
Flight Class :   Business (p)

(This is for BOS-YYZ-TLV-YYZ-TLV on AC in J. Question was where to credit. Thanks.)

Just booked for my son and his buddy from yeshiva:
CAI-AUH-DEL
DEL-AUH-CAI
EY for CAI-AUH and AUH-CAI
9W for AUH-DEL and DEL-AUH
All in J. Includes a 10-hour layover in AUH on the outbound.
70,000MR pp, but I get 50% refunded, so 35,000MR.

Since it's from cai, I'm guessing it's revenue and the amounts were approximate

Yes, it was a revenue ticket. Really great (at least seems to me) revenue fares in J out of Cairo to India. Round-trip CAI-DEL (or CAI-MUM) for about $650-$800 depending on carrier, including EY and EK. Even cheaper on some like Oman or Kuwait Air that don't interest me.  Then, with MR and BP, it's half the points back to you.

Yes I was able to change the route, I actually had to change a few times until I got the right dates, it was initially booked as YUL-JFK-LAX-HKG....
