Upgrading tickets ‘purchased’ through Airmiles.

[MrsDanielle]

Does anyone know if I can upgrade these tickets from a 2-day P2P, to a 4-day P2P? I bought these tickets back in 2014 if that matters. Will they give me the current day value so I would only pay the difference to add on those extra days? As far as expiries go, looks like they expire 13 days after first use. Thanks.

Universal tickets? Not sure.
Disney yes, but it will cost you as they will only take the value they were in 2014 and use it as a credit towards the new ticket.

Just got off the phone with universal, the rep said she’s not sure if I can even use them because they were purchased in 2014. There’s no expiry date on them so I hope I can use them!

I've upgraded air miles tickets to annual passes this past march. But I redeemed my airmiles for them this year also, so I'm not sure what they would do with tickets from 2014.

I was told that they would be worth the cost that they were worth when I got them, and I would have to upgrade them to the current tickets/prices in order to change anything about them ie: add days, add park hopping etc.

Is Disney still price bridging with the AM tickets?

If you mean giving you the full value of a ticket if you buy it right now instead of what they were worth when you got them, then no, that went away several years ago. They're able to figure out exactly how much you "paid" - just look at any posts regarding wanting to do anything other than use the Canadian resident tickets, they only give the discounted amount so you need to bridge it yourself, but they are the winners!

No, I'm referring to bridging the $ amount between what AM pays for the tickets and what a Disney-bought ticket is worth. I've done this many times in the past, but haven't checked lately to see if they're still doing it.

I'm not sure if I'm answering what you're asking but my understanding is that bridging used to mean that if you got a discounted ticket from any number of sources Disney just valued it at the higher gate price of the exact same ticket from when it was sold (not current gate prices) - meaning you could upgrade and keep those savings. My answer above needed a caveat added for anyone who had/has CDN resident tickets you first need to "pay" to get to the value of the ticket you have to what the ticket cost to the general public before you can do anything else, so you will lose any discount you originally received. There is no way around that scenario and it is unique to those tickets (I'm sure there are other types as well but I know about these first hand) - so if the ticket you redeemed miles for needs you to show proof of residency NO bridging will be done. If you have a different one from the "before" times that isn't dated they YES bridging will be done. Check out THIS POST in the ticket sticky for info on how to figure out how much the ticket was/is worth before you get to Disney. Bridging is discussed about 3/4 of the way down that post
