If you have PlusPoints in your account, you should see an option to upgrade your flight using PlusPoints. Hope this helps!
Still a bit confused, I didn't have any Points Plus in my account, but was wondering since I just achieved Platinum status, when do I get the Points Plus associated with this level? I ended up using 20,000 miles to put in a Waitlisted upgrade to EP on my EWR-CDG. If I should get the points in Jan, can I convert my use of miles to the Points Plus?
