Does anyone have a link to where it is officially confirmed that the Explorer Card does include Upgrades on Award Ticket? It seems they have scrubbed these benefit from all public materials, and the customer service folks don't know about it either. Thanks!

But who cares? I can't even get upgraded on a B fare this year, let alone an award ticket.
The key benefits I see which the Explorer Card doesn't have is:
- 1.5X miles per dollar spent (vs. 1X for Explorer)
- No foreign transaction fees
But the bottom line is that unless you were going to by a UC membership anyways, there's no point in getting this card.
