[It's baaaack!] Korean Air suddenly missing as a Chase UR transfer partner

[PlatinumGuy]

Would presume Jan 1 and the issue was they ran out of miles purchased for 2014 or something similar

[Buruch]

Where did you hear that?

[Yehuda25]

Maybe the proper term is booking, but here on DDF most call a hold a hold and if you ticketed it "I booked it" or "I ticketed it".

I wonder why they ran out?

Just made another "booking", got them to hold it till the dep date (mid Jan).
They told me the wife can't book out of the husbands acct (traveling together), is it so?

[Feivish]

Yes, you can add her to your account by send in a copy of your marriage license.

There is a whole procedure to use miles for family, but once it is done, you are good to go.

Took me one fax/email and one phone call. That's all.

Seems like per KE site this will return in January 2015.

[Yaalili]

From the KE website.
Hopefully it comes back as planned.
*cross fingers*

※ Chase Ultimate Rewards point transfer is temporarily unavailable. It is planned to re-open during Jan, 2015.

Via FT.

I have 35,000 of my miles in an account of a business partner of mine, what would be the best use of them if I am not flying KE?

[chff]

Still not back, i need to issue a ticket
