I found on this trip that honors is a point pinching outfit.I would change double dipping option frequently on the USA driving part of trip.If the HI was under $100 I would choose fixed AA miles,if over variable miles.However if I switched to variable miles after checkout but before posting i would be given the lesser fixed miles.But if I did the reverse I would be given the new option ie less than 100 miles because they accepted quickly the change to variable miles.I think they need to be reminded loyalty is a 2-way thing.i did in fact email the diamond desk but they have not responded.
