Using Business Rewards miles
Hi Guys,
I don't know if some of you are administrators for your Business Rewards account, but when I wand to use them from the BR "Book & Manage Business Rewards Travel" I can upgrade my flights, but the miles are taken from my personal Skywards, not the Business Rewards account.
Does anybody know how to use them ? I called CS but they said BR is managed by BR rewards team only and I had to reach them by email (contact us page)... then I dropped a message to the team, and they answers, upgrades can only be made online

I manage my own BR account and discovered this a little while ago as I couldnt seem to process an upgrade, however as soon as the BR number was loaded, voila, I could then see the option to upgrade. Dont forget you need to login into your BR account to do this.

I think my BR number is in the PNR as I only book thru BR... and my confirmation emails are "Business Rewards Booking Confirmation" and they credit my BR account...
Do you log in with your personal skywards # or your BR ?
When I log in with my personal skywards #, I got access to both.
So I log in, then go on the the "Skywards & BR" tab, and select 'Book & Manage BR Travels'. It gives me my pending BR trips... it clearly says "Business Rewards / Revenue" in the Type column.
From there I click on Upgrade...
(I was doing it while typing...) and voil it works !!!! I don't know what happened, maybe CS changed something in my settings/profile, because when I tried 4 hours ago, I had my 'goldish' background and my personal miles...
