Another (admittedly shady) method would be to just tell them when you call for your upgrade that you are using one of older 2002 1K One-Way Systemwide Upgrade Certificates? There are still plenty of those oldies out there that remain valid which were issued past the credential kit expiry dates, such as replacement ones, Customer Service ones, the 3 that new Million Mile Flyers received mid-year, etc, etc.</font>
This definitely (and truthfully) worked for me a few months ago. I have old-style SWUs that expire in Aug. '03 and I called to upgrade a V-class SFO-LHR. The agent at first didn't believe that there were still those old certs in circulation, but she put the upgrade through anyway without asking for the profile on them. You should be able to do the same thing!
