In this case, I would have to use 4 NAUs in my name to sponsor my wife (SE) and 2 friends (Basic members). Is it allowed? I know I can sponsor one person but don't know if I can sponsor 3. Of course I can sponsor one friend and my wife can sponsor the other but she only has SWUs and we don't want to burn 2 SWUs on a NA flight where we can use NAUs...
Interesting question...
Technically you can upgrade one companion and so can your wife. now, when at the gate, are they going to go and check if the certs match this, i.e. two from you and two from her?
My guess is, probably not. OTOH, if this is before February 28, they may not even bother asking for certs. Of my last three domestic/NA legs, when checking online, the "cert" mention did not show up on the BP, and no one asked for certs. Not that it mattered since I have more NA certs or SWUs than I can possibly use.
Actually trying to cancel and rebook traveling before Feb. 28 so that I'll lower the revenue I forward to Mapleflot, using SSWUs rather than SWUs. Not so easy if I insist in not losing all my confirmed upgrades.
Although I am very proud to say that yesterday I managed to cut $800 from my cash flow to AC.
