Likewise, if I ticket a flight for January 2006 and there are no upgrade seats available, I can't use the VIP and it expires?

Q: How long are my systemwide (VP) upgrades valid?
A: Like previous systemwide upgrades, VP upgrades are valid for 12 months, so VP upgrades issued in February 2004 for qualifying/requalifying for Executive Platinum status are good through February 2005. We are now crediting you with the systemwide upgrades earned for your 2004 activity as soon as you earn them. You will enjoy an extended validity period for these upgrades since they will be valid through February 28, 2006.
