Actually not quite true. The ability for a GS to pull a saver award from the US to Australia for 55K miles and then use a PP to upgrade to Polaris for your or anyone you designate (and in my experience, I have never missed one) - this is invaluable and definitely not for sale. I have pulled at least 4 award tickets like this - this year. GS saves me and my small company at a min $30K a year
