How much are they selling miles for these days?
Shuttle_boy, I will give you mine from 2006 (still good til 2/28/07) and my new ones for 2007 if I could. These upgrades are about as useful as used toilet paper. If a TA upgrade is that important, purchase the cheapest ticket and pay $500 upon check-in for the go-envoy upgrade. Even on a r/t you will still spend less than purchasing an upgradeable fare and still having to do the gate dance. These TA cp certs are nothing but a farce
!!! If US does not improve treating their top tier fliers (no FTD or Sky-mall here) a little better, I can see a heck of a lot of elites jumping ship.
