Loved that famjam and so great to see you all.


Otherwise, 24left has none left...from 2017 or the newly selected 2018 SE benefits. Using them up with a friend was soooooo worth the adventure.

You are correct.

I have 10 exp credits, as I have a X fare on MCO YVR, doesn't seem to be worth it with $250 Co-pay
I am happy to upgrade someone else either on
AC106 on Feb 16th
OR
AC1649 on Feb 25th (If you dont want the upgrade but holds a G fare or higher, I am also happy to swap the seat with you and comp you appropriately - I am not sure what AC's policy is on this but think its fine)

We'd need 10 credits each + $125 (or $150) each to upgrade?

I found this tool: https://services.aircanada.com/eupgw...vice/eupgrade/ but it only gives you eUpgrade requirements for certain fare classes.
That page is showing me 10+$350 for Tango A on that route.

Or we just buy J a lot. EYW is the only reason I only have 26 or so expiring. EYW is the only time of year I use upgrades.

Although I also have a nominee who does a great job at using my credits

You'd be hard-pressed to have >50 expiring if you're not SE though.

T-shirt plus waving a bottle of some decent liquor might get some takers. Or if you cannot get a bottle thru security then maybe a $100 bill would work

With J=1, R=0 on TPE-YYZ on 09 Feb, I do not feel it would be a good gamble for one of these fine folks upthread to make me their nominee. Unless they only have 10 eupgs available in which case the YVR-YYZ is wide open. My outbound flight is paid J as is my next trip. Normally I am always happy to accept eupgs

So are you saying you're using that nominee slot that you're in control of to use the remaining 12 eUps, or are you offering that nominee slot to others here?

An an SE nominee, can you upgrade based on the SE window and flights only SE can upgrade(IE. tango Caribbean) or is it based on nominee status ?

And is the nominee window based on SE regardless of nominee status? And SE amount of Eups needed?

I forgot that I had cleaned up my PM inbox a bit and had one remaining message allowed.

To the person who PM'd me, the a nominee slot is permanent until the benefit year ends (in this case, February 28, 2018). So if a SE has 100 credits remaining and adds a nominee, and the nominee only uses 10 credits by February 28, 2018, then there are 90 credits that will go unused and the SE can not nominate anyone new until March 1, 2018.
It is typically preferred by SEs here that all remaining credits are to be used up by the nominee.

My offer to @24left still stands.
