If it does not clear before the day of departure, you would be added to the upgrade list ahead of elites at the same level of you who are requesting complimentary upgrades. Anyone with a higher status would get higher priority on the upgrade list regardless of upgrade instrument.

Just got off the phone with the Meeting Service Desk about this. They said my Platinum Complimentary Upgrade trumped the BXP1 certificate. And that the BXP1 upgrade falls at the end of the list below the complimentary upgrades. She basically said the BXP1 have no value to me as platinum and I could get the certificates refunded back to my Business Extra account.

This doesn’t seem right based on njvandy’s earlier response and the thread that addresses upgrade priorities.

Can anyone tell me what is true?
