CC can be a bit :rolleyes: some all of the time.

I'm shocked you're not offering to pay for that trade in dollar coins.

Yep. Although I once did trade a free Marriott night coupon I couldn't use before it expired for a couple of PC passes during a year when I didn't have a paid PC membership.

That's assuming your schedule allows, and the new flight is as good, if not better. I won't give up a EUA for a bump to sit in a middle seat in Y on a full flight.

nor would i, but there is room on 3 flights on tuesday in first, several I would be sure EUA with my fare class just below instant upgrade.

In fact I will be checking the noshow rate closely for my original flight, I have a good chance of upgrade if 2 FC seats can't make it.

Continental is being quite friendly today in light of its temporary singlehood. This morning, I decided to "switch" out my miles + copay waitlist for next month's NRT-IAH to go co-pay free come Tuesday, and an agent redeposited the award and refunded the $100 copay no questions asked and with no fees (I'm Gold till this MR). Since the OPSC is closed today, I just gotta verify the miles are back in account tomorrow to make sure all went well, then call back on Tuesday to re-waitlist sans copay.

With all this talk about change, including at yesterday's DO, I thought it was amusing to see this poster about change all over Penn Station on my way home.

I'm loving the Accor 3-Day Asia/Pacific Sale (A|Club Members can take advantage of it 24 hours early)! I just booked three nights at the Novotel Ningaloo Resort in a One Bedroom Oceanfront Bungalow for $87.50/night. In fact, every single room type at the property was pricing out at that rate (don't know if that's a bug or a "feature"). The 1BR Bungalows usually go for $315/night. :D:D:D

Might want to show that to the folks in another airline's forum. Truthfully, the CHANGE that has come to Continental has gone rather easy for us, or so I've gathered.
