AMEX PE reward

Good morning all,

So far I have never managed to use any of my AMEX upgrade vouchers, but it looks like I might be booking a seat for a friend and a couple of questions come to mind.
1. Can I use the voucher in someone else's name?
2. Which level of Taxes will I have to pay (Econ or PE)
3. Are you allowed to combine with a reward seat sale as I heard both yes and no?

Many thanks

Dominic

I've done all of the above recently..so,

1. Yes. Your voucher can be used to upgrade book some-one else a flight. This is subject to the EC flight being booked as a reward using FC miles and and upgrade availablity.....check with VS reservations.
2. You'll pay PE "Taxes". v(
3. Yes, that's just what I did. I got seats in the reward sale and upgraded using the Amex Upgrade Voucher. y)

Hope this helps

Thanks Paul that helps a lot y)

I'll just have to wait for the sale to come along so can snap the offer up.

A real shame about the taxes though n(

Ha Ha, I used to Ski but prefer soft boots and baggy pants (sorry trousers) 8D

I do ride with a few kick ass Skiers when in Tahoe it's all just fun on the hill to me and then the drinking starts with a Lodge tour at the end of the day y)
