I've not yet made my selections for the year; this piece of information may result in me choosing something else.
FWIW, what I posted above is based on what is written on the Altitude site (under eUpgrade Travel Companion - highlighting mine):

Then I certainly wouldn't count on it.

Realistically, if we push the issue too much, they'll update the system to match their policy.
