AS has already advised that later in 2025, upgrade priority will be based on cumulative EQM earned in the prior year + the current year; within each tier. That is after MM & Business travelers. There will no longer be a fare class purchased consideration.

After the original release, a new perk selection was added to the 100K Choice benefit. That is (4) upgrade certificates. It is my speculation that those upgrade certificates will differ from the (2) upgrade certificates you can choose once or twice at the 55K milestone. I would value the Lounge+ or 50K RDM perks significantly more than 4 GGU equivalent upgrade certificates.
