No, you're right. I forgot to post all of my experiences here on FT.

I found out, to the eUp gifter's horror as well as my own horror, that any upgrades I wanted to be processed as a Nominee came out of the generous Nominator's 2015 (expiring 2016) eUps... only one booking pre-Feb 28 came out of the Nominator's 2014 eUps... he only found out after the fact and didn't want to retract the flights he had upgraded for me...

BUT, the point of my (this) thread was not about which bucket of eUps my upgrades came from... it was about using up as many eUps as I could at the current lower rate, pre-devaluation doubling.
