3. What if he checks in at an ITM at 12:01 am the day of his flight and there's an F seat, he can upgrade then with a credit card, right?

4. How about if he shows up at the airport at 12:01 am the day of his flight and there happens to be one F seat, can he use his same day upgrade coupon at the CS desk?

5. What if an MVPG/MVP notices there is an available U seat within 36 hours of departure, can they call the MVP desk and take it? Or do they need to go to an ITM to get it?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I don't know the answer to most of your questions, but the answer to #5 is most definitely yes - the MVP should call and ask for the upgrade immediately. This has worked to my advantage several times over the past year.
