I'm booked for a three day journey from Dal to Sav in two weeks. Only had enough points to get coach. Looking to buy Continental points to transfer then make up the difference buying AGR. I figure it will cost about $270 to get the 20k points I need. This would be a huge discount to even buying coach the whole way. And it includes meals for the time I'm in a roomette. And access to the lounge in CHI and WAS.
But... Roomettes are sold out on the first leg. No biggie. I can bite the bullet and ride coach for a third of my trip and a roomette for the rest of the trip. It'll still cost 20k points, but ok. But what if I can't get the points posted in time?
Since my last leg is supposed to get in 15 minutes before my work starts, it would be nice to be rested and showered before my arrival.
Bribing the SA to use the shower is not appropriate, so that leaves an onboard upgrade.
Alan B has said in theory that they would charge low bucket roomette plus low bucket seat minus what you paid for seat. Obviously, if you paid zero for seat, this could be way expensive. Has anyone actually tried this and experienced this result?
