I don't have personal experience, but my wife is PLT and all of her upgrade requests have cleared (including where she was travelling with a companion).odoherty said:I realise every flight is different, but just wondering if anyone has ever had any luck using AA 500 mile upgrades?
I'm AA Plat.

mick said:When I was AA Plat last year, I successfully used up my four 500-mile upgrades and purchased an additional upgrade online for my JFK/LAX trip. Never mind that it was ticketed with a QF flight number, it still let me request it via the AA website.
Not sure if you can still do that - I think it needs to be ticketed as AA now, but I could be wrong...

drron said:I used mine for the first time last week and successful on 2 sectors for myself and mrsdrron.Had email 36 hours before flight confirming upgrade.
Next week though it should be working out how to use my EVIPs.
I logged onto AA.com and searched using name/AAflt/date and it brought up my LOC in the AA system. I then requested the upgrade online. It returned an error and so when I called the Plat Desk, they lodged the upgrade request manually. It then was reflected as a request on AA.com. The upgrade came through on the day, no problem.Dave Noble said:For the AA upgrades to be valid to use, it needs to be an AA flight number. If you had a QF codeshare on the AA flight, I am surprised that it let you request it and also surprised that it upgraded you since QF R class is still an economy class rather than AA R class which is the business class electronic upgrade class

The same here. I have never used any because all my AA domestic flights have been in A class anyway due to being part of DONE4 fares. But they may come in handy some time. I have US-based work colleagues that manage to use them regularly, and even have to buy more every now and then.hippo said:I find I accrue them quicker than I can use them since
the ratio of domestic to international flights is rather different
for Australian AA plats compared to our US fellows.
