Now, all together:
WHAT IS AN eUPGRADE CREDIT?
Sorry, I can't take credit for that post, it was YEG Guy, not YEG USER.

I really hope that the upgrade credits work as I suggested in suggestion 22 of
this post.
22) Implement a system of electronic upgrade credits in lieu of upgrade certificates. SE/E/P would start the year with different numbers of credits, and different fares/distances would require a different number of credits. For example:
- 1 credit - NA upgrade from Latitude fare
- 2 credits - SW upgrade from Latitude fare OR NA upgrade from Tango Plus fare
- 3 credits - SW upgrade from Tango Plus fare.
For the above credit options Tango Plus fares could be upgraded within the 7/4/2/ window. An additional option could be to spend 1 (or maybe 2) additional upgrade credits to be able to confirm an upgrade from Tango Plus at the time of booking (in advance of the 7/4/2 window).
