*I may have done this last year and it was BRILLIANT.
Thanks for the tip, I'm planning to use most for longhaul. I wanted to use one for this trip however as I have 2 and they both expire October 1st apparently when they rebalance the joker year then I get another 2 until my year restarts on October 8th so figured it was better to use them even if only for a Club Europe return rather than lose them though it looks like they may end up in the scrap pile afterall if they're as hard to use as GUF2's were without jokers...
