We boarded LAX-DFW so the certificate was pulled by the agent working the flight. We left the gate and 4 hours later returned, having never left the ground, due the weather in Dallas. I subsequently cancelled my trip.

Agent at the airport said I could theoretically re-use the invalidated voucher that was still attached and wrote a little note on it but the other one was long gone since it had already been pulled during boarding.

What is the process here - should I bother calling BusinessExtra to replace them?

To circle back on this specific topic, I contacted the BusinessExtrAA folks with the story and it was acknowledged within 48 hours and they dispatched replaced upgrade certificates which I received this week along with a clearly customized note to me (referencing the airport situation, cancelled flight). Outstanding service from that team.

bedelman, thank you for your advice and glad I listened to you!
