"No fare class restrictions prior to December 31, 1995. ... Fare application is subject to change on/after December 31, 1995." (There is where they can get me)

Nontransferable...

"Valid until 1 year from: blank"

As a Platinum, assuming DL would still honor the coupon, how could I use these?

Suggestions? Any less than 800 mile flights, within the above geographic boundaries, where Platinum upgrades do not apply?

IIRC, these were from that period where you could get four coupons for 2500 miles, and each upgraded segment got you a bonus of 1000 miles back, so you could turn a profit of 1500 Skymiles on a four-flight itinerary.

Oh... for the good ol' days.
