The terms say you have to book at least 96 hours before, and upgrades are processed 24 hours before a flight.

I have played around with some seat maps, and I have seen plenty of Mint flights that have two or more open Mint seats within 24 hours of departure. I would
assume that if two additional passengers had requested Mint upgrades with certificates, they would have been moved up at that point. But I am not sure if that is how it works in the real world - which is why I started this thread. Have you
attempted got use two or more of these certificates, and it didn't work? If so, what route, day, etc? I hope we can collect a lot of data points in this thread over time
