I still have cdg on way there

Have you called them? I only found out about this when I called them. Someone else was told by them that AA was not honoring their share of this price mistake (the CDG legs). Doesn't really make sense to me... But whatever.

On my 9th HUCA I finally got a decent etihad dude. I then called priceline and merged the 2 calls together.

After 34 minutes I finally got a full refund.

You need to call them and confirm. My itinerary also showed that they had the leg. It was only changed on their computers.

I have 2 upcoming flights.  I primarily fly AA so I would like to credit the miles to that airline.  One flight to DEL and one is to JNB.  I would like to know how many miles each of these flights would give me if I credited them to AA.  Also would I get any elite qualifying miles for this trip?

I am new at this and appreciate all your help!

JFK to CDG   EY 3315 Operated by AMERICAN AIRLINES
CDG to AUH   EY 38
AUH to JNB   EY 604    
JNB to AUH     EY 603 
AUH to JFK   EY 101

Original
LGA to ORD   EY 3151 Operated by AMERICAN AIRLINES
ORD to AUH   EY 150
AUH to DEL   EY 224
DEL to AUH     EY 223
AUH to JFK    EY 103

Changed to:
JFK to AUH     EY 102
AUH to DEL     EY 224
DEL to AUH     EY 223
AUH to JFK     EY 103

Without knowing your fare classes, I believe that if crediting to AA, at best you would receive miles for the JFK-CDG, CDG-AUH, AUH-JNB, JNB-AUH and AUH-DEL, DEL-AUH flights.

Did anyone have any success cancelling and getting refunded after they stayed changing around flights?

so if I put in my aa number I will only get miles for the auh-jnb route? What about the jfk-auh route anyway of getting miles for that flight?

That's what this (http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/earnMiles/travel/airlines/etihad.jsp) seems to say.

Yup. I believe a friend of mine had an Israeli stamp and was locked up and never heard from again.

I'm really confused as to how to which millage program I would get the best value with for this trip. Especially since they changed my iten. to remove the CDG stopover (as I posted earlier). Could someone please help?

My itinerary now is:
JFK-AUH on EY;
AUH-JNB on EY operated by SAA;
JNB-AUH on EY "JET AIRWAYS Configured aircraft";
AHU-JFK on EY.

Fare code is 'EHOT3MUS" which I believe is E.
