Hello!

I often call MP to ask about my 500 mile upgrade certificates. And my answers, they always vary.

Because I am not a Premier, I am technically not allowed to use them (unless in Business or Full Fare Eco. = NEVER AM ANYWAY).

Sometimes, they say that even though it says "United Economy M, H, Q, V, W, S, K, L, T--- NON PREMIERS: Not Allowed", and my fare is "Q", I can upgrade. When I ask why it says that, they usually say "That just means you cannot upgrade ahead of time, like top-tier members, but you can at the gate"

Sometimes they will say downright no, but if I get a nice gate agent and an empty seat, who knows.

In this particular case, even with F seats open, I was denied the upgrade. However, non-rev's were not denied (typical).

Am I entitled to anything? Should I have taken down the CS ID # who told me I could upgrade, and fought for the upgrade?

I hate the inconsitancy at UACS!!!

Thankyou!
