I assume RogerD408 is not using "non-secular" to mean religious, so the other meaning, at least in physics, is something that changes over time, so perhaps a response that varies all the time?
Would you please clarify? I don't know what you mean by "typical non-secular response" nor do I understand, in the context of this discussion, the reference to paying for a free benefit?

I, too, assume he was not using the term to mean not spiritual or religious, but when I substitute "perturbed over time", I still don't understand. Then again, I'm no rocket scientist.

Maybe I have the wrong spelling or something, but I mean not comprable to the request... Almost always when writing to many of the customer support groups these days (AA being the worst) a friend or I will submit a question say about how the boarding process was executed at a particular airport and the response will be regarding where AA flies from that airport or something so off topic it's tough to believe a live body even read the message.
Specific to this request the response was how to have upgrades for an EXP pulled from a PLTs account. It wasn't what I was asking and definately wasn't something I think anyone would want to do!
But... maybe it's just me.

Question: I am currently PLT and have requested upgrades on the domestic legs of my Australia trip. i.e. JFK-SFO and on the return LAX-JFK. However, i will become EXP on my flight back from SYD-LAX, will they still deduct stickers from my account when i am connecting in LAX to get back home to JFK. If they do, can i get them to credit it back to me, since i crossed the PLT-EXPLT before my LAX-JFK flight?

Sticker Upgrade on Codeshare ticket
I have flights booked on CX tickets which include domestic AA metal, DFW-SFO-HKG. I use CX ff# to accumulate miles, but I'm close to getting gold status on AA. Anyone have experience on how to implement AA status if all flights on AA metal are through codeshare with CX ff#?
Can I use sticker upgrade if I have gold status, but my ticket is using my CX status?
Can I sticker upgrade on a AA flight if the ticket is CX codeshare?
Can I choose preferred seating if I am on CX ticket CX number AA metal but AA elite?
Thanks for any help in advance!
always,
Michael

So hopefully this is the right thread. I'm doing a MR from 12/12-12/15 to get to Plat using the DEQM promo out of RDU. As I understand it, the EQM bonus won't be calculated until around Dec 31, and I need every mile to make Plat. So I won't have Plat status till Dec 31, but I have a trip booked for 1/5 that I really want to get upgraded (LAX - BOS in a 737). I requested an upgrade on that flight when I booked it as a Gold last month.
I think I read on FT somewhere at some point that if your status changes, you need to call AA and manually ask them to update your upgrade request to reflect your new status. Is that correct?
Thanks!

Upgrade request...
Flying STL - DFW - SNA
My coupon/sticker upgrade went through on the STL - DFW for the 24th.
If I don't get the rest of it upgraded by departure day do I need to re-request the upgrade when I get to the airport or does it continue by default from my original request when I purchased my ticket?
Thanks

If your upgrade hasn't cleared by the time you get to the airport (you say this is a coupon, but I assume you mean "sticker" upgrade), then yes, you'll need to ask a TA, GA or AC AAngel to place you on the airport upgrade list. It's been discussed here many times.

Haven't needed to do that in years so it doesn't show up for me, but I think I recall hearing something about that feature upon online checkin.

Yes there is. Also sent a note to the OP to check with someone at the airport to make sure they have him coded as a connecting upgrade request as opposed to an originating upgrade request. I take so many multi city segments that sometimes I have been coded incorrectly in the system.
