As previously announced AA will begin to award LPs for cash paid upgrades, a great move IMHO. I questioned whether this will be for paid upgrades for flights beginning March 1 or for paid upgrades purchased after March 1. I looked on aa.com and just saw a note that this enhancement was "coming soon." Any insight? Also, will the LPs be awarded when the upgrade is purchased or when the flight gets credited? Finally, if you purchase an upgrade and need to make a flight change due to irregular operations and get seated back to coach will you still get the LPs? The AC has told me that these paid upgrades are refundable in the event of irregular operations and you get stuck in Y.
