AA Award Price Keeps Changing When Booking With Etihad Miles
Help with booking partner award on Etihad!
I am trying to book an American Airlines flight with Etihad miles and it is 6,000 pts per person but on the final checkout steps, it changes the cost so it is slightly more points and less fees.
I can’t find any way to change this.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any tips?
I know it is not a huge amount of points but this would definitely discourage me from ever booking through them in the future if the point rate is suddenly higher than advertised at checkout.

Only use Etihad if it’s the only possible transfer partner.
This is the typical experience for last-second points inflation.
Also, if you have a new account with them, it likely won’t even allow you to book until some archaic manual process is done on their end.
Their whole site, phone support, and policies all suck.

Same here!
It happened to us a couple of months ago.
Needed to transfer an extra 1,000 points.

I just did this last week and had to call in to complete the booking properly.
It did cost a few more points (like maybe 1-200) but it was still around 6,000 each.

I had this happen twice so I just threw an extra 1,000 miles in my account to cover it.
It sucks and is irritating.
