I agree that it was an excellent idea to open a “How to upgrade on *A” master-thread. But as the OP tend to drive those of us who are detail-oriented quite crazy, I wait to make this thread sticky until Kiwi Flyer has updated his OP. To give you an example: stut (2 times), GoldCircle & yourself provided input for upgrade possibilities on BD. And this is what we have right now:

Miles Only BD Diamond Club cash and miles may be used to upgrade on BD.
For someone who likes to know how to upgrade on a BD operated flight is this explanation misleading: Upgrades on BD are neither possible using any type of FFP miles nor does DC offer upgrade awards!

Besides that, what’s the connection that a *G card holder gets the seat next to them blocked when they check in (subject to availability) to “how to upgrade on BD”?
