And if you will not be upgraded, it takes ages to credit the vouchers back like it takes ages to credit the flown miles. This also means that you cannot use the vouchers to upgrade the return if you return say end of the week.

I've had much better luck with upgrades when using points. At least in my case this seems systematic. I think Finnair is giving higher priority to point upgrades than vouchers.

My conclusion is that upgrade vouchers are more or less useless if you cannot use them.

Anybody else experiencing the same?

I must say no. Have used vouchers also this year, they've always cleared.
