Ok, now I have a second question - and I didnt really want to start a new thread..

OK, so they'll pay for a W ticket, but said they would try to give me a SWU for the flight. Otherwise, they'll pay for a B fare, and expect me to pay for my upgrade with 15,000 miles.

I like that 150% EQM for B fares, but would have to pay 15,000 miles from my account.

Would you pay 15,000 miles for an extra 5,456 EQMs for next year? That's my question. I'll end this year, my first with MP with 57,464 EQMs.
