Purchased 7/18
Return cleared at booking. Outbound cleared 12/18 when PZ>0. I did not wait for the sweep, I called. Was told they couldn't process, so had GPU removed and then I reapplied it online.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the GPU offer spreadsheet has been updated to this point. Simply click the GPU Offers tab to see all offers up to this point. Also note that this spreadsheet has more than just GPU offers, it also has ToD buy-ups, CPU offers and the like which may also inform your decision on whether to roll the dice with a GPU or take the ToD offer.
Sadly, I'll be away from FT for the next couple of weeks/months as I continue my studies in the UK. If anyone is interested in carrying the mantle of UA spreadsheets/tools, feel free to PM me. Otherwise, expect these tools to be updated around March/April of this year.
Safe Travels,
James
