$738 for one way MCO-ATL on 12-16-18. Funny thing is, the current First fare for this flight is only 389.20

Is it new that FCM offers can quote prices in miles? I'm being given an offer for $74.18 or 6,900 miles on PHL-BOS.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...973b6c1f98.png They announced they were going to start doing this a while back. I haven't seen it myself but I assume others have. It's interesting that they are pricing them at >1 CPM. Technically it all balances out (since the $74 also nets you 350-800 SkyMiles depending on status) but still interesting. Wonder if they are doing A/B testing on that to see whether or not it induces extra purchase ("I'm getting a deal!") |
The price had been the same, but I had not seen the miles option until my upgrade on the outbound BOS-PHL cleared this morning. I'm expecting the return should clear later tonight, so maybe it's one last effort to sell it to clear some mileage liability before they give it away.

When you buy the upgrade with miles, do you still get the 150% premium-cabin MQM bonus?

doubtful; it'll probably process as a non-refundable "seating upgrade" and they won't actually reissue the ticket into G/A/P ... which also means you won't have the "only-need-an-available-front-cabin-seat" SDC benefit either

Buying an upgrade during the check-in process will NOT earn you the bonus MQMs. |

As a DM, I’m probably 90% on the comp upgrades both ways. Of course on a 319, the odds are lower than an RJ. The only time I've sat in economy on this route is when I got involuntarily downgraded from an upgrade. $200 in my pocket so it was a good deal. |
$385 or 35900 miles upgrade to F for SJC-ATL on a 737-900. Original Y ticket was around $400.
