Has anyone had success using AA systemwide upgrades for tickets purchased through Chase ultimate rewards?

Yes, there’s no difference in purchasing the ticket directly through AA or using Chase Rewards.

Yup. Lga - dfw - nrt. I was able to tell it was going to clear right away from searching on AA’s site. I had some struggles finding the exact same flights through chase though

How were you able to tell if it would clear?

I believe you have to be Exp to be able to see the SWU’s on AA’s website. But I’d assume you are since you’re asking

like

If that option isn’t there, you’ll be waitlisted. The space could open up at any time between purchase and departure. If you don’t clear by 24 hours prior to departure, you’re added to the airport upgrade list, which is governed by all the normal upgrade rules. You can search for availability on expertflyer.com

Thank you for this, super helpful

You have to log in and search for the flight on aa.com. You will see a link to “systemwide upgrade” under the flight if it’s available. Click on the link and it will show you what’s available like economy to biz or biz to first.

DFW to FRA for example

Yep thank you

Are you doing this with Chase Saphire Points or via another point system? I understood Saphire points to be booked through Expedia and didnt think you could do systemwide upgrades on those.

You’re thinking hotels. Airlines you will earn miles and upgrade (unless basic economy)
