The EBCI rewards work just like the Upgraded Boarding ones do (along with the $75 credit, the wifi credits, points transfer credits, GlobalEntry/PreCheck credit, and in-flight purchase discounts). Whenever Chase's system sees those particular purchases come through on an applicable card account they apply a statement credit equal to the fee or percentage discount.

It is per person. Yes, you could buy two and use them up that way. Or you could do one, and save the middle seat for her - which is rarely a problem since nobody wants to sit in the middle.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. But I got lucky in that my anniversary month is December so I bought the 2 to use them up because I will lose them otherwise in a month.

Trying to add early bird to my Hawaii to mainland flight tmr, an error pops up saying "the passengers associated with this itinerary do not qualify for earlybird check-in." I'm not A List or anything. Any ideas?

Early Bird is not refundable. If instead of canceling the trip you change it more than 25 hours before the departure you will get EBCI on the new flight. Change as many times as you like this way.

Interesting. Can it be a totally different route? Works on award flight change (something I've never done)?
