Upgrade requested but no stickers required
 

Did a quick search and couldn't find an answer to this...

Yesterday made some reservations on AA.com and noticed that on the screen where I can request the upgrade (am platinum) all of the flight segments required zero 500-mile upgrades. I requested upgrades on all segments (would have regardless of if the 500-mile upgrade stickers were required), but am curious what will happen when I check in. Will they zap my account for the stickers or is this a comp?

0 "stickers" requred for upgrade
 

I am also Platinum. While making my last two AA ticket purchases, I also noticed the zero sticker requirement for upgrades. However, you will see the correct sticker upgrade requirement on subsequent screens during the purchase process.

Like you, I got excited but I (we) will need to use electronic upgrade stickers if we want to upgrade. It's not a free upgrade.

For Gold/Platinum/Executive Platinums flying AA on Y and B fare "domestic" flights, nothing is to be pulled when upgrading to business/first class.

Of course there is no mention that this is Y/B, so probably irrelevant. Plus, the second poster indicated the same issue and the stickers did eventually come out, so website issue is far more likely than Y/B. Of course, what you wrote is completely correct, even if likely having nothing to do with the topic at hand :)

Cheers.

Thanks all for the quick response. I suspected a system gremlin and wanted to hear if others are having a similar response. FWIW, the fare was not a Y or B fare but appreciate the info.
