Reward Flight Finder vs. Actual Booking Points

Hi All,

I was planning some flights using the official reward flight finder here and once I went to book, the points price in the reward finder are no where to be found. E.g. one way Upper LHR-DEL showing as 29,000 points, but when you go to book, its over 200k points!

Kind of unacceptable (both the massive variance between the tool and actual, AND of course being asked for >200k points for a one way!!).

Is this a bug or just another thing we need to live with?

The reward seat checker has never been that accurate (even before the reward seat changes) so it's always best to use the booking engine.

I think the main reason is because the reward seat checker doesn't appear to work in real time and I guess it's just taking a snap-shot at specific times.
