Now I wonder what happens when you either try to reserve (hold) this, or indeed just book it (what is the unspecified upgrade reward?). Has anybody tried it?
I use this feature all the time. It's only available for credit card holders of the Chase Continental Mastercard, and will hold the reservation for 24 hours.
I've never tried to use another card to see what happens, but I'm sure the system can't be fooled so easily. So the previous suggestion of using the cash payment to hold your reservation would seem to be the best option if you don't have a Chase Continental MC.
