Many credit card reward tickets are issued with no fare on them. If your ticket receipt says "BT" (bulk ticket) where the fare and tax should be shown, then you have to pay for baggage and you cannot upgrade. Don't miss your flight either, because you cannot even exchange that type of ticket for a different day. Since it's 100.00 plus fare difference to change your ticket, including upgrading to Classic, it's probably not worth it. FYI, skis, poles, and boots, even if packed separately count as 1 baggage item.
