Can you refuse an upgrade and demand miles instead?
How about do MRs like BOS-MEM-DTW-MSP-LAX-MSP-DTW-MEM-BOS and refuse upgrades? That is a nice 8000 miles to collect!
A friend flew JAX-MEM-DTW after the superbowl in coach and got 2k miles.
I posted above that I have been sucessful a couple of times requesting to be downgraded on very short flights. Prepare for a very strange look on the gate agent's face when you make this request!
