In the past I've used my own points to upgrade both of us to business, I just wanted to know if this time around the fiancee can upgrade using her own points.

Hi Everyone,

Looking for someone to help me answer my question before I go with my booking. Maybe my question was a bit confusing so I'll re-explain it.


Fiancee and I are looking to book a flight from YVR-HKG-MNL and return. I've received a successful upgrade from W to U class using all of my points (30,000 each for a total of 60k).

Currently I only have 33k asia miles with Marco Polo Gold Status
Fiancee, she currently has 80k asia miles Marco Polo Silver Status

I guess my question is, if I book the tickets under my Marco Polo account, will i be able to use any of her points to upgrade her?

or

Do I book the tickets under her account and risk having the priority level for the upgrade at Silver vs Gold?

In this situation, can redemption help me? I'm not really too clear on how it works but we're both in each others redemption group.

Any feedback would be much appreciate!
