what’s the best way to spend this?

Seat upgrades aren’t covered under the airline credit. I tried to do the same thing 2 weeks ago. According to the fine print, upgrades aren’t included.

Best way to spend what? Upgrading a seat through the Amex portal is a bad way to use miles

Ah sorry, misread. But the answer is still no. Do some research though, there are still ways to use the airline credit
