I'm not surprised after them staying quiet for so long , but as far as mistakes go this has to be a costly one based on scope and blog coverage, even if it was only valid for hours.

Never been so happy to have set an alarm to wake up early(ish) on a Sunday morning. Thank you Dan!!

why didn't the DDMS post give instructions about how to book this error fare with amex (J only?)) or chase points? to further capitalize on point value with with CSR and Amex Platinum

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

some fare error deals you can book with points and some not? for example at least with amex the airline matters.  Also curious if every error fare shows up on chase and amex travel site with the corresponding points low amount of points?

and anyway if I remember correctly DDMS did at least in the past give instructions how to book with CSR points and Amex plat points
for a DDMS post  think a lot readers might not be remember this option nor know the nuances of booking with points and might assume incorrectly that you cannot book this error deal with points.

anyway not even sure if many booked this deal with points does not seem so

It didn't give instructions how to set up a home network either, even though many booked from their home computers. Dan is really falling off his game, no?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

UR wasn't really an option. Site was down for most of the glitch.

Does anyone think I would be able to change anything on my itinerary? One person cannot make it on the date I purchased, so I was thinking of two days later or changing the name to someone else that can go ....what can I do to achieve this?

What fare class (this would dictate the change policy)? Likely would require a change fee + difference in fare to change date. Forget about the idea for name change, unless you have someone else that's just 1-2 letters off, then you might have some luck.

Why wait till today? You're now outside the free cancellation window..

Airlines are not required to ask for socials, maybe AC is different?
