or

3) GS must use CR-1s/SWUs to upgrade award travel

My guess is scenario 3 but have no info to back that up. Anyone?
I would suspect #3 in general but one might be able to call within the 120hr clearance window for unlimited upgrades. In either case, one would have to call to get upgrades as opposed to automatically done
