This makes no sense, but confirmed 3 times.

If you have a res on hold, with conformed VIP upgrade, you cannot use gift cards.

The res agent offerred to cancel the upgrade, book in coach and then HOPE that the upgardes were still available after ticketing (Carnival in Rio, would you risk it?)

"OK then, lets refund the gift card." NOPE- GCs are non-refundable.

Any thoughts???????
As an EP surly you'll be flying AA again before the gift cards expire. Save them for a future trip. don't risk a lost upgrade to Rio during Carnival.
