Seeing 200+ PPs expire last year, I was shocked at this great start to 2025:

1. Route: IAD-FRA
2. Date: Feb 3 2025 (Monday)
3. Fare class: R
4. O-J
5. # of Plus Points: 30
6. How many days/weeks in advance ticket was purchased: 21 days
7. How many hours/days/weeks before departure did upgrade clear: 21 days

1. Route: BRU-IAD
2. Date: Feb 13 2025
3. Fare class: R
4. O-J
5. # of Plus Points: 30
6. How many days/weeks in advance ticket was purchased: 21 days
7. How many hours/days/weeks before departure did upgrade clear: 32 days

PZ was 9 on both flights! I was gobsmacked. I thought I was looking at the wrong fare bucket, and actually went online to search for a change in fare buckets, that is how much I was in disbelief seeing 9PZ on the screen. In all my 2024 itin wrangling, all I saw was 0PZ.

This was originally a K/L fare that was only $541 to upfare to R. That's a helluva deal for Polaris for 16 hours.
