My only stipulations were that only those people with a history of posting to the forum were eligible and they had to promise that they would not act in such a way that I would regret my offer. It all turned out fine and very thankful the recipient was too. EI GC admin never batted an eyelid.
good info trustno1, thanks.
I assume the vouchers expire at the end of the membership year. Do you know if it is possible to apply them to a flight that is booked for a later date?

My elite membership year ends in May but I have a family trip in August that I would like to apply the upgrades to.
(only have enough earned for basic GC membership for next year)
