Holy crap I am so bad at this
.
I found my flights via the chase portal. They are American flights and it said in the thingy that I could choose my seats. I also selected the upgrade for like 8k points to include "cancellation". It didn't really give a definition for that, but I figured it was a good idea for various reasons. It probably wasn't, but I hate and am terrible at this so I did it and it was only 8k, I guess. It ended up being more points than it said plus $50....Fine, whatever, I just want this to be over. When I got it booked and saw my itinerary, it says I'm in the economy cabin and I don't see where I can go pick my seats. Isn't this the thing where they just put you wherever? Not going to work for a family trip. Any help/tips to make me feel better are appreciated.
