What pisses me off is the constant fees for trying to use the miles for upgrading. With the new policy for upgrading to BF, if I want to go to Hawaii, I would have to buy a FULL FARE economy ticket. And that is only if I didn't want to spend the extra couple of hundred dollars each way!!!!!!

Sorry, I just needed to rant and rave at their idiotic upgrading policy.

I agree -the elite status earning miles policy change won't impact me too much... most of my fares are non-discounted tickets and are typically Y/H/K/D/J.

But the constant tweaking of the upgrade policies where they change the rules based on fare code and additional fees is outrageous.
