Clearly using a credit card would be your best option if you don't have the APD

Happily the points only took a day to transfer across, so all sorted. You can request the upgrade well in advance without having the AirPoints in your account, but as you state, they will certainly have to be there at the 7 days out mark. Thanks for the reply.

AKL-SFO
747
2 pax (Both Jade)
Y-PE
$475AU Just into average range (one pax via AP, one via C/Card - separate PNR's)
Declined 3 days out
Plane very full, so not too surprised.
Duh!
Was hoping for the standby at the gate ex AKL offer, but didn't happen, possibly since PNR is ex SYD. Plus plane so full of course.

apologies in advance if answered above, however couldn't find an answer using the search...
Can we combine a RU upgrade for 1x pax with a oneup bid for the other pax on the same booking??
Just on TT, but I need to burn a RU and i'm looking to test out the PE spaceseat TT prior to deciding on it long haul....
Will asking the premium team with ultimate powers of persuasion help at all?
cheers

This ended up being accepted, no idea why as there haven't been any Business class seats available on the flight in weeks, but hey, I'm not complaining.
