I dont fly enough to get elite status on 2 airlines anymore like I used to with AS and NW so I just bank everything into AS and the very rare times I use non AS partners I dont even bother entering a FF program number because I know it might take me about 10 years to get enough miles for an award on say...UA and thats assuming they wouldnt expire. I guess UA is a bad example. I have an active account there in the case my flying ever picks back up to support 2 programs. I guess F9 wouldve been a better example
OK, so now I'm confused again, you're saying that you DO have to call in to get 2 MVPs on the same PNR on the upgrade list, but in the upgrade bug thread, missydarlin says it's automatically processed....hmmm, which is it then?

You do not need to call in to upgrade two MVPs on a companion certificate.

The autoprocessor will put you on the list.

However, you cannot specifically shop for MVP (Immediately) Upgradeable Fares when there is more than one person in the reservation.
