New consultant never got to fly. Have an upcoming cross-country flight coming up for my SO’s birthday. I would love to be able to gift him an upgrade. Any chance someone here can lend a United Upgrade that maybe expiring and they are willing to lend? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I’m sure someone would sell you points. Why don’t you just purchase him an upgrade?

I have gotten free AA systemwide upgrades on here (and I’ve given them away before). The key is to be looking just before they’re about to expire

Using PlusPoints on domestic flights is just a waste unless it's ps. Just use miles to upgrade or look for the upgrade offer in the app

If it's non-stop SF/LA to NY then it's a ps/premium transcon flight. If it's on any wide body (or 752) with lie-flat seats then yes i think it's worth it

Next set of PlusPoints doesn't expire until 12/31 so come back in December for a better chance

Is it not something like competition against each other rather than keeping things under the same big umbrella?
