While American extended Systemwide Upgrades to 7/31/21 and United extended PlusPoints by 6 months, Delta has been oddly quiet about extending their upgrade certificates.
But Delta finally announced today that upgrade certificates selected between 3/1/19-12/31/20 will be valid through 12/31/21, even if they already expired! Expired certificates will be reissued by 3/8.
Delta is also making them easier to use. They can now be used on award tickets and cash+miles tickets, plus you can now upgrade more than one companion on a flight.
Delta has also added the ability to check if you can confirm an upgrade at the time of booking when you search for a paid or award ticket if you’re eligible for upgrades:
By clicking on “Delta One suites available with Upgrade Certificate” you will get this popup:
Unfortunately you’ll still have to call Delta to apply the certificate and unlike with American, you still can’t upgrade basic economy fares.
Your move American and United!
These can only be used for the AH, correct?
You’re move, LY! 😉
