In a rare occasions in the past, I got my 500 milers taken off in lieu of paper SWU.

As GA have not asked about it, I forgot to give it to them. I do not know how they do that but they give me upgraded tickets all the way to the final distinations (of upto 10,000 mi away).

When I check my account, some 500 milers are gone. So, I always guessed that they take 500 mi(s) for first segment but I do not know how they can get upgrades for other segments.

Any clue?

It must be some system glitch that allows this: this is the only time I've not had SWUs requested. I've flown PHL-ORD-Asia for example and they've just pulled two 500-milers for the itinerary. Unless something in the system tells them that they're op-upgrading the int'l flight perhaps?
