Are AMEX IAP discounts on LY a new thing?

I booked many tickets the past few weeks, today was the 1st time I saw it.
BTW every time i want to add LY protect to an Amex (and refundable) ticket they say this is the last time they will make an exception.

If I purchase an El AL flight via El Al, can i enter my Skymiles number and get MQD for the flight? When I do so, I do not see my flight in the Delta app so I'm not sure if this will work.

As long as it is an eligible fare class, Yes

If I cancel a flight booked with a voucher within 24 hours, will the funds go back to the original voucher or do they issue a new one?

Do you know which classes don't qualify?
I had roundtrip - the way there MQD posted, the way back didn't post. When I opened a claim on Delta, the response was: "Ticket Stock Not Supported" - Do you know what that means and if there is anything to do about it?

It's, N-Economy Class one way and S-Economy Class the other. Do you happen to know if these are eligible?

Is it possible to book EL AL ticket using chase travel that’s NOT a ”light” fare?

You can't book exEU ticket on ElAl with Chase Travel as a classic fare that includes baggage? It only offers the lite fare.

Any tips on how to change it. Calling Chase didn't help. ELAL doesn't want to change it, and therefore they don't want to allow me to add the Protect add on to it.
@yelped any update on this? Where you able to book a NON light fare?

I was helping someone. He tried calling and it didn't help. I did hear that some people were able to get the rep to book a regular ticket.

There's no way to transfer tickets to someone else, for the outbound you can try to go to the airport and maybe get bumped for cash,
For the Qantas booking cancel over the phone so you might not get charged the cancellation fee as mentioned here https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=83850.msg2902612#msg2902612

Any downside to booking an elal flight on jetblue?
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.
