Why?
1) My travel is exclusively International, flying out of HNL so the four platinum regional upgrade certificates are worthless to me.

2) Although I nearly always receive Delta comfort upgrades as a gold, flights leaving the US from HNL do not receive Biz class upgrades so I'm flying in back while Delta One is wide open no matter what my status is.

Thank you!
