No, I haven't used the miles option. I was saying that it has been there for me to exercise if I wanted. Personally, I don't see the benefit of burning 15k miles when I can wait for a free upgrade (fingers crossed). Per
sbm12, he was saying that they would zero out the R bucket in an attempt to sell the miles option. I don't think they'll take the bait. I know I'm not.
ETA: I was wait listed because apparently I didn't clear at T-24.
