Uplift Value relates to the way an airline records/charges prorata a ticket to another carrier - it is an accounting function I believe and not directly related the the passenger/customer...
The first coupon is retained by the airline for revenue accounting purposes it is called the 'Primary Coupon Uplift', when it enters the system it has been 'uplifted' and is said to have a 'value'...similar in concept to a cheque...if the airline loses that they cannot claim through the clearing house to another carrier.
In this case maybe one can read this as Air Miles will only accept a maximum billing charge 'value' from the carrier in question. We need Bealine or similar person with access to the Air Miles and/or IATA revenue accounting manual
