Short 1 500 mile sticker
My balance says 3 stickers on the AA web app but 4 on the main website. Anyway I'm flying phx-dtw Thursday and on the app I clicked the "request upgrade" button. I didn't buy another cert because 1. I rarely get upgraded on a long haul as a plat and don't want to throw away $40 2. I can't tell if I really have 3 or 4 total balance and 3. I'll be EXP after this flight.
What happens if I do clear Thursday? Will the gate agent be asking for $40? I'll gladly pay it of course if I clear.
