Hi everyone,

I have 4 leftover RPUs from the 2014 MP year that have an 1/31/15 expiration date. I also have a set of newly deposited RPUs for the 2015 MP year that expire 1/31/16.

My friend asked me to upgrade his flight in March, and I applied an RPU which was deducted from the good, longer lasting RPUs rather than the about-to-expire pool. Is this a mistake, or is it because the flight is beyond 1/31?

I guess I thought the RPU expiration meant that the RPU had to be applied before the expiration date, not necessarily that the travel should also occur before the expiration. (It seems strange that before the new RPUs were deposited I wouldn't be able to upgrade any travel beyond Jan 31).

As always I appreciate the comments. Thanks!
