Positive space upgrade - update
This is to update my post from several weeks ago.
These certs are for one segment each, and they are capacity controlled (I've had a couple possibilities 'locked out.')
They are NOT valid on codeshares, so there goes my SCL-PTY hope.
"... valid only on CO to destinations within the mainland United States, Alaska, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America." Of course valid for upgrade to F/C only (or LAtin America 'business class').
So my new question - as CO Platinum, are they any improvement over waiting for an auto-upgrade? Even if I'm at 66 % success w EVA, chances are that I would use the cert for a flight that I would have been upgraded anyway!
Well, I guess I'll save them (but not too long), and use them for a trans-con trip, even if its a route I've had high success with in the past.
Sigh, just when I thought I was getting a real nice deal from Customer Care. (For Silver or below, these would be an excellent item!).

Yes, plenty of us lowly Silvers might kill for one of those.

Motnot, 
We will use them by end of Dec, I hope (since they are "subject to availability" - whatever that means nowadays), so I MUST avoid you only for the rest of the year! Also, we do tend to get a bit overblowing on this board (at least some of us), don't we?
