The agent told me that PURCHASED upgrades will be reissued with a new expiration date???? I called the service center and was told that they would be converted to miles automatically (which they were not). Has anyone else been told this when purchasing e-upgrades?
I belive if you are a US Airways elite and you purchase upgrades on United, the ones you do not use are not put back in a bank or anything.. you immediately loose them.
