Also read that you can't use upgrade certs on GRGD rates. Just wanted to triple-check that this is the case?

Thanks, folks.
1) Not quite. I wrote that early qualification is no longer a published benefit (hasn't been for 3+ years). Afaik the benefit still exists, so you'd indeed get two sets of certs.

2) Correct.
