I am not sure if you have any status but keep in mind the "free" MCE becomes a real pain in the butt if you don't have status and you bring a carryon...
We didn't have any status at the time. We had MCE for the domestic legs, like you, for free (or complimentary). However, because they don't consider you a person who has
purchased MCE, you do not get the early boarding group perk. You board with whatever boarding group is for the peasants. lol. So you get to your seats and all the overhead bins are full. Both times we had to put our bags in the back 1/4 of the plane and then wait until everyone was seated or swim upstream. It happened to us twice and quite a few other people in MCE seats on our flights. It was frustrating!
