MVP not eligible for a complimentary upgrade with a companion!
- If you are an MVP Elite, you are eligible for a complimentary upgrade providing you are the only passenger in the PNR.
- MVP Elites cannot upgrade a companion on the same PNR. If you have a companion, no upgrades, even if the companion is MVP.

This promotion does not require two passengers to be traveling on the same reservation (unlike the BofA Companion Certificates) so there is no point in booking them together if you just want to split them. It's a 50% off main cabin fare sale whether you have 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 passengers.

Got it....so in this case an agent would have no problem splitting the reservation since a companion certificate wasn't used. It's too bad these fares can only be booked with the special discount code because I have customer care discount codes I'd like to use.

I’ve never used those, but I'm assuming can’t book a flight, cancel it and then put it in your wallet funds can you?

Your statement is not incorrect. However it is ambiguous because the MVP with MVP companion scenario, not covered, could be interpreted as possible, when it isnt. It doesn't matter what the status of the companion is. As an MVP, If you have a companion on your PNR, you are not eligible for an upgrade. Period!
Just make sure you don't have an....
- MVP and a non-status companion on the same reservation or the MVP won’t be upgraded
- MVP and a MVP companion on the same reservation or the MVP won’t be upgraded
Both are accurate statements.

Makes many west coast flights w Embraer service about $128 RT pp. We’ve had good luck w lots of empty seats and so lots of distancing on these flights. Even SEA-SBA has this fare.

Me (MVP) and my son (MVP) on the same reservation yesterday got auto-upgraded to first on MCO-PDX although prior to being upgraded we had to have an agent move us to premium class since the system tried to charge for it. It is nice that two MVPs on the same reservation can be upgraded since you can't typically split the reservation when using a companion cert.

With the BOGO, is it possible for a single passenger to purchase both seats for themselves? I think I would need to call to get this done but, want some idea first if possible.
Thanks
Booked a trip for our daughter and son in law. He cannot make it and I wanted to give her both seats.
Worked out just fine.(As I was within the 24 hours for change, they did it for me)

AS raised the margin between Saver and Main Cabin so much that on many transcon routes it only works out to be a 28% savings ($99 vs $72) vs the 50% advertised. Sure 50% on Main Cabin but not the from the lowest fare. Remember when the was no Saver fares and we were promised more benefits for the same fare? Time to ban the Saver fares.
