Is there a solution? I was thinking of booking on VX, getting upgrade processed, then substituting my AS MP number for my VX FF number before taking the actual flight.
Since your credit expires in two months, you need to use it on VX.

Your idea (bolded above) seems like your best course. Just don't wait until the last minute...and save your boarding passes.
