Comparing the ISA Firewall to non-ISA Firewall Solutions::
Jan 11, 2005 One notable advantage of software firewalls such as the ISA firewall, of upgrading the software at periodic intervals is also important.

I am traveling on a eticket from Sitka to Cancun round-trip. I purchased coach and have been upgraded to U as a result of my MVP Gold status. However, I need some additional points in my American Aadvantage account. Is it possible for me to keep the upgrade based on my AS status but accrue AA miles (I know I won't earn AS miles)?
Of course, this was before AS announced that you have to be collecting AS miles in order to use the free MVP or MVPGold upgrades. You can try to change numbers after you receive your seat assignment but at least some stations have been told that if the passenger wants to do this then they will have to give up the first class seat. )?
Actually, this has always been the rule. The difference you're noticing is that it's now being enforced, whereas everyone just sort of let it slide before.
The reason is that it costs AS a great deal of money to credit a member with AAdvantage, OnePass, Worldperks, or any other mileage when flying AS. Since the idea of free upgrades for MVPs and Golds is to reward them for using our Mileage Program, it would be inappropriate to allow the free upgrades when crediting a different carrier's mileage program.
Only if the agent makes an error. You should have your AS number in for the upgrade benefits to be availble.

It was a two goal advantage right away and went to 7-4 pretty quickly. . But the MVP probably goes to what he said earlier in the year most.

Yep. I did this SFO-LAX-MZT May 24 and MZT-LAX-SFO May 31.
I did this several times last year to get EXP on AA after I had all my MVPG qualifying miles for 2003. I'd simply change FF accounts at the check-in counter or call the MVPG desk the day of departure and change accounts, making sure that they'd left my FC seat alone.
Checking in on the kiosks didn't work, as changing the FF account # caused the kiosk to try and charge me for the upgrade. Changes can also be done at the checkin counter. It's a bit of a pain as it eliminates the ability to check in online, but if you need additional Q-miles on another OW partner, it works out OK.

I hope this is the case now.

Only major problem I see is that wl for a FC seat is going to be impossible if you want it to post on your AA account.
