Agree with these.

Recently I burned 2 expiring ones (gifted by another FT'er in the CC giveaway thread) for DEN-GRR CR7 this Friday. Waitlisted on SMF-DEN

My wife is on a separate PNR so there was no other way to get her upgraded even though I may likely have cleared both flights by CPU on my own.
