RM--I totally disagree regarding using employee bennies to upgrade rev tkt. Why should we get PSUP? I would have a real issue w/anyone who instituted emp upgrade that way. We have a choice of one or the other, unless we use miles to upgrade as a form of payment for a mystery code FCFL tkt. I do think we should be able to read the booking code prior to purchasing. I don't think we're the only folks who have a beef with that! But once we become revenue pax, we aren't entitled to employee perks.
The One Great Team passes have dragged on for extended years. Sure isn't fun to get knocked off a flt by OGT users 3 yrs after the original ending date. We used ours during the first date; then they were extended and extended and extended. Couldn't rely on an expiration. I think they finally end this year. (side note--does anyone know? I'd like to know since they seem to come out of the woodwork last minute--ad infinitum...!)

Love the Amex Plat card, too. Never had any use for the companion tkt--better bang/$ on nonrev w/DL and OALs are overpriced (must purchase from Amex travel) I use the Priv Pass lounges overseas when possible, too. We each have a card so it was worth buying one for me on same acct. The $200 allowance can actually be used to pay $50 pass fee (which I forgot once) I usually use my sister's DL card to pay for it, since her family uses all the buddy passes. We typically use it for food/bev in flight for domestic. We can also use it to pay for a guest in SkyClub. Pretty cool card, even tho it's a bit pricey. We get it for Global entry every 5 yrs, too. It's our Christmas gift each year. The gift that keeps on giving.
