2 days to use expiring upgrades
So...after gifting about a dozen or so upgrades to FT'ers in 2000...and upgrading 4-5 strangers at the airport...I will be tossing out 7 SE upgrades in two days...unless of course I suddenly have to do a lot of short trips! 
What are YOU throwing out?

p.s. oh ya, about to throw out (for the 3rd time) my free companion ticket certificate

I'm tossing about 10 s/w and another 10 n/a. This was really bad planning on my part. I kept holding back on upgrades because I just hate to use them on business travel when the fare is a tax expense. I have left over n/a coupons because AC just never seems to bother asking for them.

Over the last week I managed to use 12 Cdn NAs and one SW. That leaves me with 1 SW and an Empress Lounge get in free pass. Didn't think I'd be able to use any of these because all of my flights were on L tickets 
I guess it never hurts to ask.

I hope you aren't throwing out these things. Don't you keep them as souvenirs? (I'll take the old CP stickers if you don't want 'em -- curious to see them.)

Well, It's offical, I truely am an Idiot!!! I have been reluctant to us my SWU's for some stupid reason. So, last Thursday I travelled from YVR - YUL and wanted to use my SWU's. I checked in and handed one over and the guy said, "What is that? I've never seen one of those..." I said its a SWU. He looked and said, no, its a lounge pass.
I left all my SWU in my truck and grabbed my stupid lounge passes. Now I have 4 more AC flights in the next few days and they won't allow me to use the certs I do have because of the fair I'm on!!!
I'm such an IDIOT!!! Oh well, atleast I picked a name that resembles me...

Dorian, how do you know what strangers to give the passes to at the airport?
Seriously though, I've got one blue and 3 white stickers left. At least I got the ultimates to Shareholder to use.
