Anyone able to upgrade a flight (B fare) in 2020?

I keep getting the error: eups.error.8549!

I was attempting to upgrade a B fare today and it indicated 4 credits which seemed significantly higher than it once was (it used to be 1 for a domestic flight). I sent a message via Twitter but haven't had a reply as of yet.

FYI
Mine was a B fare as well

After the migration, this appeared on my eUpgrade page:

This flight is now showing 4 credits taken (info included name, route and new PNR #)





Then this appears right below it. "Agent" manually adds back 2 credits.







The total credits available did not change, but the math of what was deducted for the flight did. No idea if this means new mileage charts are coming or if it was a blip caused by the migration.

The upgrade chart probably didn't get migrated over.

But domestic B fare can cost 2 credits if the distance was over 1500 miles I thought.

It might be 2 but it is definitely not 4.

I am also getting an error message on trying to book two different open jaws.

This migration is really really problematic.

Anyone had their AQD post for a flight that was booked pre-change over where the flight happened during the conversion or post conversion?

I had a YYZ-HKG-YYZ flight where the miles posted fairly quickly but the AQD still hasn't shown up and it's been 9-10 days (depending on which flight).
my flights from Nov 16 and 23 have both posted the AQM, but not the AQD.

AQM/AQS is having your BP scanned + fare bucket + absurd 4-forever day delay.

AQM always involved some other process, getting the priced paid.

Technically long after the early recognition date, I'm sure fixing this link is far down the list of priorities.

Priority #1 : Making sure we are not issuing refunds twice for the same booking (but two booking references)

Priority #2 : Making sure customers can book tickets and we get payments, doesn't matter if we charge 'em multiple times

Priority #3 : Making sure the change/cancellation fees can be charged properly

Priority #4 : Making sure the bid upgrade and LMU work

...

All things that benefit customers are the least of our worries.

Is the switch causing the problem with their contact centre? Is is causing flight reward availability showing up online? Seems that way on flight I have been watching.

Same here, 5 eUP Credits deposited today for a total of 25.
I have to admit, I'm very impressed with how quickly it was fixed. Kudos ^
Now I wish the same could be said about this transition/stabilization... Baby steps, baby steps.

I will be the first to call AC a bunch of idiots when they are. And their new app is a red hot mess. A floating dumpster fire.

But... When I do things on the web, everything has worked for me. Well, the website still doesn't work right outside of Canada. So strike that...

But... I have been able to book FP flights, upgrade them, check in, get pre-check and OSS, etc. I have to say that things do seem to be getting better (there were a couple hiccups with my pre-check/KTN on a flight last week but none this week). Overall, I am actually quite pleasantly surprised at how much has gone right and just worked. Of course I am not thrilled about the new eUp situation (although I almost never wait til the gate to get upgraded). Etc. But on balance a lot more has worked and worked well than has not.
