Basics about the evoucher:
Number of eVouchers needed per segment:
- Upgrade a shorthaul segment = 1 eVoucher
- Upgrade a longhaul segment (Longhaul= LH400-799)
- From Economy Class (other than K, L, T) to Business Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Economy Class K, L, T to Business Class = 3 eVouchers
- From Economy Class (other than K, L, T) to Premium Economy Class = 1 eVoucher
- From Economy Class K, L, T to Premium Economy Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Premium Economy G, E to Business Class = 1 eVoucher
- From Premium Economy N to Business Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Business Class to First Class = 2 eVouchers (although the website says 3 eVouchers, it will be corrected in due course)
Upgrade awards may be booked online with LH, OS, LX, SN, LO and Discover, or you can call to upgrade.
Alternatively, you can book at the check-in counter. Not all airlines offer immediate upgrades at the airport.
Evouchers can be used on any ticketed PNR, even if the flight operates after the date of expiry of the evoucher.
Evouchers can be redeemed with all Star Alliance partners - depending on the destination, airline, travel class and booking class.

How long do eVouchers remain valid?
- All eVouchers are valid for 24 months.
- none of your eVouchers will expire until 31.03.2024. This also applies to eVouchers that were re-credited after the cancellation of a flight.
With an eVoucher, you travel one class higher [link to general eVoucher information]

I do not think is related to a MM credit card because I do not have one and my account is not showing the expiry date yet.
I understand that even with a MM c/c, the evouchers have a limited validity.
According to the information provided by NewbieRunner the 2 evouchers that we received in Nov. 2011 will have a validity of 24 months, so up to Nov 2013(or Jan 2014). My guess is that at the beg. of July we will see the exp.date indicated in our MM accounts

So, is there a consensus whether the date of travel or the date of ticket purchase/upgrade confirmation is relevant for the eUPG? I always thought it's date of travel but would be happy to be convinced otherwise.

Its date of upgrade/use of the voucher, the flight can be for a later date.

Is the probability of being able to use vouchers greater by booking tickets well ahead of time, or does availability appear only at a certain number of months/weeks ahead of the flight date?
Also, if for some reason vouchers cannot be used on a certain date to go from C to F, is changing the flight date online a fairly pain-free process if changes are permitted/cost-free?

Ability to change your flight date depends on your ticket purchased- if you have a fully flexible ticket then changing is pain-free as long as the fare class is available on the new flight you are looking at. If you don't have a fully flexibile ticket it can be costly (or not) or even not allowed at all (look at the fare rules for some P and Z fares for example depending on originating market).

Thanks, was hoping it would be as easy as on SQ where if there are no price differences then it's literally *click* *click* here and there and your flight date is easily changed.
What is the best way to check F loads/availability to pinpoint a date when the entire F cabin is empty? Does ExpertFlyer show this or is there another or better way (apart from the LH engine that let's you view the seatmap before paying for a booking)?

Ok, so if 2x F flight awards are available in M&M then that translates into being able to use vouchers to upgrade two pax from C to F?

Yes, if the miles were regular miles from someone without status or a LH CC (which makes them not expire) then they would also vanish if flight / upgrade is redeemed for a period that lies beyond the expiry date of the miles.

M&M eVoucher expiration date now shown online
Not sure if it is really worth an own thread but I did not find a suitable existing one. So Mods pls feel free to move.
Just discovered in my M&M Profile that now the expiration date of some eVouchers is shown:
Don't ask me, why it's in English/German language mix....
