Of course not. The seat is not sold for tens of dollars, it's the upgrade that could be as low as tens of dollars.
Except that a Silver cannot confirm an instant upgrade on a M fare.
And how is that relevant? Or was it merely distraction from the fundamental issue that
entropy was referring to.
First, he said that the OP should jump on the paid upgrade if he sees it, as the OP is a P-Plat, who does indeed qualify for M fares.
Second, he crafted an opinion on CO's instant-upgrade policy, and I'm sure that you're aware that this applies to Silvers at the Y- and B- fare levels.
The continual FUD being spewed on this particular topic is rather unfortunate and misleading to the folks who want to actually understand it rathre than just have something to be bitter about.
You're welcome to disagree with what's being posted, but just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean there's no merit.
Perhaps CO has taken the combination of their Y/B/M-Up policy, combined with aggressive marketing, a bit too far that it's a material take-away from the benefits for some in the OP program.
Just because CO has an explanation for it, and you seem to buy it, doesn't mean the rest of the Elite population does. Just like my insurance company always has a reason for a claim denial. I don't always buy that either, though they believe they're playing by the rules.
