E+ vouchers finally available electronically
I just noticed this morning on teh app that there is now a category for "complimentary Business upgrades" and has my E+ upgrades listed and a button for use. Will not be using for a bit, but we have been waiting what, 15 years for this?

At last, I can already tell that the product manager didn't fully consider all aspects of this long-awaited feature. It fails to display the expiration dates of the vouchers.

well - usually they should expire at the end of a membership year. (the covid extensions were an exception). so you should know when they expire.

Am I the only one thinking that it doesn't really matter whether TK can show me the number of vouchers I have.
What I (we?) want is to simply be able to apply an upgrade voucher during the booking process of a Y ticket on the TK website. Looking forward to that data point!
Everything else would be the exact same (terrible) process minus the phone call.

I either use the vouchers on a return trip well before their expiry - booked with the internation of being upgraded - or I don't use them at all. Therefore it's very easy to keep track of.
Obviously others have different habits, but my point remains valid.

When i tap the tab "Complimentary business upgrade", all my PNRs comes up. I can then tap the PNR i wish. In my case there is one (Y). I will not use upgrade vouchers for this trip, so this post is for experts on this forum to take in as a data point on the interface - particularly regarding how many vouchers that would be required for each (married) journey
I have a return flight from Asia to Europe (on TK obviously) via IST. Stopovers for 3 hours each way. I tap this PNR.
I then says "Please select the reservation for which you want to upgrade your flight to business class free of charge".
All well - but my trip comes up as four individual legs (I then tap all four legs - but I do not wish to hit the "confirm" button - sorry). My understanding is that this is really valid for a system wide upgrade (that is, 2 vouchers should cover all 4 legs). Therefore, it is a bit of a worry that it comes up as four legs.
I really appreciate the new interface, but I am still holding my breath as to any changes in policy.
Further detals: Doing a dummy business class booking for the same flight I have allready booked on the TK website, the four segments comes up as:
Asia-Istanbul: Full
Istanbul-Europe: Z
Europe-Istanbul: J
Istanbul-Asia: K
The married segment (two last legs) comes up as Z.
This means that I would probably not have been able to secure any upgrades except for Europe-IST. Perhaps the tab would show system wide upgrades (ie Asia-IST-Europe as one voucher) if there was availability. I don't know but I would be very greatfull for any suggestions.
