"Elites" (or the equivalent) also get upgrade certificates on UA.
Not for international. Must use points. While AC Elites have the opportunity to upgrade from lower fare classes using SSWU (even if it's just 1 trip a year) and confirmed at time of booking for Y,M,U using cert. How does this option exist on UA for Elites equivalent?
Even now, an AC employee seems to have implied that they already know what the program is going to be, and are yet still not announcing the details.
That's your implication. Program is not 100% set despite you insisting that it is. When it's ready to go, it will be annouced.
