Last week's experience

I wanted to book SFO-SYD for July and found I could only locate a 'S' class fare on the Web - but wanted to use SWUs to upgrade. Called SWP, booked via an operator, got a W Class fare for $30 more than the online fare. I guess I don't get my double miles promo . However once the e-ticket issued (within a few hours) I went online, requested an e-upgrade using SWUs and got the upgrade confirmed in both directions instantly (which of course has nothing to do with my SWP membership). My one beef is that although the Web site talks about double miles up to a lifetime ceiling, they don't tell you that that applies only to certain classes of membership - and 2-year membership isn't one of them!
