Beginner Question abour "eUpgrade credits"
 

I do not fly much so I may be asking an ignorant question. Could some tell me about these "eUpgrade credits" I have been reading about? If a "friend" gave me one, do you have to be a frequent flyer with Air Canada (ie. Prestige/Elite) to use them? How do you "use" the credit when you are booking a flight? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

Where to begin!?!
You need to be an Aeroplan member to even consider using an eUpgrade. Your friend cannot simply give you "a" credit. They could nominate you as a beneficiary of their credits. That member - who would be prestige, elite or Super elite - would be the one who applied - through their account - to have you upgraded. They will need your record locator number (6 digit alpha numeric code) for your flight and your booking has to have your Aeroplan Number on it.
There are lots of threads on eUpgrades - it would be advisable to invest some time to read these...

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

the official AC site also has a pretty good explanation of how it works
