More good news for WorldPerks elites...

Among the other changes:
• Free upgrades on award tickets (those purchased with frequent flier miles) will be unavailable to current WorldPerks members until spring of 2010.
• The PerkChoice program, an option that allows Northwest members to use miles to pay for one half of a round-trip and cash for the others, will be discontinued.
Delta has a similar "Pay with Miles," program. Currently, it's only available to those with a Delta Skymiles credit card issued by American Express, although that could change in the future, Skrbec said.
• WorldPerks members who have achieved elite status will be eligible to obtain unlimited free upgrades for traveling companions.
