I sometimes ask other passengers about their codes, and am surprised by how many shrug it off with "I don't bother with that!"
or a similar response.
Next Monday the code donation thread will open up...it's actually easier than paper certs that you had to mail...now you just PM the electronic code and it's done. I agree though...I think there are far more unused upgrade certs than there use to be since many (like myself) can't justify paying a lot of $$ to upgrade a flight that I will more than likely get anyway at the lower fare when my upgrade window opens....so are 100% as an MVP this year (PDX-SLC, SLC-PDX, PDX-PVR, PVR-PDX) so yeah, unless it's SEA-EWR or something more competitive upgrade-wise, I'll usually buy the cheaper fare and take my chances
