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.
This is nonsense. for SFO-AKL on 3/3, how many passengers do you think are in business class with saver award ticket? if 20 seats are occupied by award passengers, do you think that is high or low? simply because you didn't see saver award open doesn't mean other people couldn't get it. look, your perception <> reality and sometimes it is completely false.
