Regional Upgrade - Reward Travel

Why can't we use regional upgrades for reward travel when there is availability but I will get upgraded for free if available?

Free (EUA elite upgrade automation) upgrades are not available for reward travel.

This will supposedly change for Chase credit card holders in 2012.

I can attest that PP MC holders currently receive EUAs on reward tkts, -- subject to availability, OP status, among other things!

Am I able to use a Regional Award certificate for an upgrade on a reward ticket?

If you mean a 'regional upgrade' cert, -- then no, they only work on revenue tkts!
