No Mileage Plus member can redeem saver J award.

No passenger buying ticket within 24 hours of departure can request upgrade.

I don't have a dog to fight in this flight, but this kind of stuff happens more frequently than before and it bothers me.

It devalues MP benefits....... no matter the reason. There is no way to deny that.
But the person who was complaining was upgraded. It doesn't seem like evidence of a conspiracy with revenue management.
