Is that expected?
Also, are 500-mile upgrades requestable via the AA app?
Thanks!
You cannot use 500 mi upgrades unless you have status, which is why you don't see any option to upgrade with them.
They never expire, so they will just sit in your account indefinitely. If you ever get status again then you can use them.
