I advise everyone to check their e-up accounts.

This has always been the case.

Today Feb 28 was last day to burn your old E-ups. I had a strategy which paid off but I am left with 2 which go into the waste basket unfortunately. I am sitting at 55k for the new year which is a great leg up for the future.

With less and less SE's to compete with, this is giving me more reason to stick with AC although I dislike the new program.
I was replying to a post about booking Aeroplan tickets, not eUpgrading, so tomorrow is better for me (no YQ)

Because if you upgrade before March 1, you are charged the NUMBER per the 2014 terms. It takes eUps that won't be expired at flight time, but the amount is the old (lower) amount.
