if YCA is still eligible for Instant Upgrade, you should not be putting 1K pluspoints on it as they are pulling back your upgrade list position. Even if PZ is available, you still shouldn't apply pluspoints as PN will be available when PZ is available and you are able to clear into PN for free


so basically 1K pluspoints are useless on YCA fares??
