Now, you can ask an agent to reconnect you on the list at the airport. If available, the 500-mile upgrades will be deducted from the sponsor’s account."
I've done this 4 time now (reconnect at the airport) since the new policy went into effect. Each time, the agent was clueless of how to do it and had to get help to make it happen.
