I haven't received my 2009 S+ kit yet. Anyone out there who has one -- are there exceptions to specific fares printed on the back?
Are conductors accustomed to looking for T/C's when you use an upgrade coupon?

It might be one of the things that is technically against the rules, but 99% likely to still work.
