Not true, except in a very narrow technical sense. While the eVIP cannot be "applied" to an unticketed reservation (i.e., "used" and thus deducted from your account), you can hold the upgraded reservation and ticket it later. Of course, this is less useful now that international reservations are no longer held for 3 days.
