US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Question about NA Space Positive Upgrades

I have two NA Space Positive Upgrades that I need to use by December 31. However, the rest of my travel this year has me on either all regionals, or on other airlines, so I figured I would take a short vacation in October.

Basically, my choices have been whittled down to either Chicago or Tampa, as both aren't that expensive (about $220), a decent hotel room for a night isn't that bad, and I haven't been to either city.

Now for my question. United is offering a fare of $216 to ORD out of GSO, however, all four segments of my desired itinerary are on US metal (GSO-CLT-ORD-CLT-GSO); US is offering the same flights for $60 more, which is a little pricey for my liking. Would I be able to use these upgrades on these flights, even though I would be booked under UA, or should I just head down to Tampa (where all flights would be booked on US, on US metal).

Thanks for the heads up,
Jeff

To the best of my knowledge, you should be able to use the certs on those flights.

Thanks for the reply...right now, I'm really torn deciding between Tampa and Chicago, but the hotel I want to stay at in Chicago (it's a Hilton) is only $110 for that night, and the flight is slightly cheaper, so I'm leaning Chicago (plus, there's more to do there).
