If you bought a seat they'll find one for you at the gate 30 mins before flight. They block a bunch off for this reason and others. But $19 is cheap and those seats are way nicer anyway, I would upgrade for that price in your shoes.

They will get you a seat at checkin. Odds are, it may be one of the $19 ones.

I agree with A1. Small price to pay for a preferable seat. I have paid more than that on United, and I have status.

A2, I've never had an issue with it. I can usually get one of the first rows of economy because of it. I definitely agree on the crossover rewards suggestion too

Seats left that are $19 and above, do I just pay for it or do you think if I don't check in they'll just give me one of those seats? Never had that happen to me on AA, UA, or Virgin but also need to be home for the holidays and don't want to be that guy who doesn't have a seat kinda thing

An automatically gets benefits if you book thru CWG! So you should be able to board with zone 1 and get a decent seat!

Yeah for ACN employees (and many other companies I'm assuming) if you book through our travel agency, you get free preferred seating and zone 1 boarding as long as you have a skymiles account. So just set one up quickly if you don't have one!

A3 - I always get screwed booking through ACN site. Is that true?

You should do crossover rewards if you're SPG. Been upgraded to 1st with no prior spend that year.

I booked through the sapphire rewards site for chase, however I did use my skymiles so let's hope that I'm not the last to board

Ive gotten very good seats bc I refuse to pay $30 or whatever bc they only have premium+ seats left. They give me whatever seat they have at boarding

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
