Anyone had their points unfrozen this month? Mine posted on the 9th but ALL of my MR points have been frozen ever since. I try a few times to day to transfer out but no luck so far.

Site says: This action will not be completed at this time because your account is currently being reviewed to make sure all eligible purchases meet qualifying criteria.

I get a different answer about when they will be available each time I call MR services.

does AA GC still work? If no, does fees for booking award flight count as an incidental?

No, for obvious reason.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Does the Delta trick (upgrading seats on a non refundable ticket) still work for getting back statement credit?
