They both said they spoke to their international partners desk to verify and specifically referenced Mileage Upgrade Awards.
Has anyone been able to do this recently for 25k each way?
I flew MSP-ATL-MAN on VS in Upper Class, upgraded from Premium, for 25k last August, but the MUA rules changed at the end of August this year; I got in just under the wire. Many MUA options have ended and the price on VS went up to 85k. Even last year, your 25k round trip upgrade was a lucky error!
