$1500 RT in W fare. First time using and clearing GPU at booking. I see previous post had success on same route. Is this a rare find/good deal at $1500? Seems to be compared to regular fares for those dates. Any chance Polaris lounge will be open in LHR by Jan?
Thanks

Hey FTers,
I've updated the spreadsheet to reflect GPU successes available up to this point. Simply click the tab that reads GPU Offers to see them all!
Moving forward, this spreadsheet will be updated less frequently (i.e. every couple of months?) since I'll have less time in the coming months to work on keeping this spreadsheet upgraded due to my University commitments.
That being said, if someone's interested in maintaining the spreadsheet, please PM me and I'll assign access accordingly.
Safe Travels,
James

So I’m not totally sure if this belongs here, but just cleared DEN-NRT at the gate.
Was originally booked DEN-SFO-HKG-GUM but the DEN-SFO was delayed 2 hours resulting in a certain misconnect. There was only 1 J seat left on the rebooked flight DEN-NRT so I gave it to my girlfriend. The flight was also overbooked presumably due to the misconnects, so they offered $900 to go tomorrow, and a GS took it. Waited till a couple of minutes before the flight to board and I think I was the last one on the plane.
Also scored ANA J from NRT-HKG.
If the very nice guy who gave up his seat is reading flyertalk, thanks very much! I hope you enjoy your trip to Singapore and congrats on the $900!

And a lucky woman who's not that much into football got $4,000 for not taking a Delta flight from Atlanta to South Bend last month.

4. Y-F
5. purchased ~90min prior to departure while on the way to the airport...
6. applied and cleared at gate to grab last F seat
Yes, arguably a 'waste' of a GPU, but it was the only way to avoid an E- middle and I have so many I don't know what to do with them...
