Are there limits to how many one Onepass account may purchase?

NJDave · July 29, 2006, 10:02 PM

One per account per year.

Spence · July 29, 2006, 10:33 PM

Really? I thought it was one per account period.

I thought it was one year from the date you purchased your last one, but it may be one per calendar year. I tried to buy one before a year and was not allowed.

They used to have an upgrade cert in them, didn't they?

They did but those were pretty useless since you had to upgrade at the airport and most FC seats are already taken by Elite members

I got upgraded so many times with them it was ridiculous. You could call in a certain number of days ahead and then they'd not collect them at the counter, used them over and over. One time used them for upgrade all the way to South America and they were supposed to be CONUS or lower 48 only, but that's a whole 'nother story.
