AA international GUC upgrade for AS MVP75K
booked lax to jfk to lhr to lax in business on AA via Chase portal. as i understand it, i'm eligible as a OW Emerald / AS MVP 75K for a confirmed upgrade (not standby) from business to first on an over the pond AA flight. how do i get the upgrade if there is space available? call/tweet AA and let them know i'm a OW Emerald / AS MVP 75K and ask them to apply the GUC? (do i need a AS issued GUC # and if so, where do i find it?) tia!

If you are talking about the old AA Upgrade Certs that we were given as 75ks, I believe they have all expired. But to use them you had a specific code e-mailed to you, with a special phone number to call. It was also only for very specific routes.
Otherwise (and someone correct me if I am wrong) you will be on the standard complimentary upgrade waitlist, after Plat Exec, 100k, and Platinum Pro flyers.

We were supposed to get one AA International Upgrade cert this year as 75Ks, and two for 100Ks, but I don't think they've been issued yet. They still show up on the elite benefits page with a footnote that they were supposed to be distributed in "early 2022". We're approaching mid-2022 and there's nothing yet.

allegedly still coming, but clearly not a priority for AS/AA.
