Travel using another member's eUpgrade Credits
Currently, only one member may sponsor an upgrade per reservation. For instance, if a Super Elite 100K and Prestige 25K member are travelling together on the same booking, it is not possible for the Super Elite 100K member to sponsor an upgrade for the departing flight(s), and for the Prestige 25K member to sponsor an upgrade for the return flight(s).
Ugh I'm starting to run into this for EYW.

My friend's only P25K (for now), so he has 20 eUps.

There's one PNR we're on that has two flights that need 6 credits, each (so 24 for the whole PNR).

If I upgrade one of the flights for both of us, and he does the other, we can successfully upgrade (or at least waitlist) every flight longer than YUL-YOW/YQR-YXE.

However, without the ability to share that PNR between us, We'll miss out on a few YWG-YYC or similar length flights.

I know I can split the PNR so we can each upgrade it separately, but I'm a little concerned about doing EYW with a P25K on his own PNR (even just for a day), given that there are 4 connections under 35 minutes.

I'm not even entirely sure what the outcome was in SAP's case (did maradori upgrade the whole thing?), so... is it possible for us each to contribute 12 credits to upgrade one PNR that has two flights that each need 6 per person? Or do I need to split the PNR?

Thanks
