Talking Any spare eUpgrade credits?

Thought we should have a thread like this.

Of course, discretion of the giver for criteria.

Personally, I don't have any extra, and would always appreciate some as all my travels are for concerts.

Cheers!

Note: this is not a CC thread - if you're looking for a trade, you should go there.

Not kidding at all. People end up with extra credits that they won't use - so why just let them expire? Probably there'll be lots of postings here in February.

If one has too many credits left this year, and has no chance of using them before they expire. I wonder if the method below would work:

Buy a few Y fares next year and upgrade them using this years credits. Then cancel them next year before the flight time. Would the credits go back to the account with a new expiry? Or would the credits be put to waste?

I certainly wouldnŽt mind a bump to the front cabin either.

I guess reality is that weŽll see a hundred times more "needy" FTers than donors, so IŽm not sure this thread makes a huge amount of sense (at least at this time of the year).

Wouldn't work IMO since the E-credits have a shelf life until Feb 29/12 only...use them or loose 'em!!!...better still make me a nominee and DONATE!^

I donŽt think so. The current upgrade credits expire on Feb. 29, 2012, and afaik flights which are upgraded need to take place before that date.

Yeah - but the thread can be bumped up (just like the spare MLL passes thread).

Wow if you thought the people with a grand total of 2 posts asking for MLL passes was a stretch, this thread will be a magnet!

"Hey guys, I'm flying from Toronto to Montreal with my grandparents and brother-in-law. I'd really appreciate it if 2 of you could use your nominations and 24 E-Upgrades so we could sit up front!

Thanks in advance!"

I can just see this thread getting mobbed once word gets out on Red Flag Deals.

Real issue here is not the upgrade credits, but position on the nominees list.
