any experiences with crediting "OP" fares from DL to AS?
Flying to Malaga on Saturday and used some SkyPesos to upgrade my outbound flight.
Surprisingly, DL didn't ask me to change my FF# on the res from AS to DL ^
Original fare class was M. Does anyone have any success or failure stories on getting credit for an OP ticket with an underlying coach fare class on DL? I'm assuming it will credit as an M fare 100% but just wondering.
Typically this would have failed at the time of the upgrade as in the past DL has always required DL crediting for an upgrade to even be processed using Pesos.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

); I don't need either the DL spend or the 3600 miles, and I'd get to MVPG a couple weeks earlier than I'm currently forecasting if I can indeed credit to AS

i will try and remember to update this after next week. flying Saturday so the miles ought to post on Tuesday if manual intervention isn't going to be required. i saved the receipt showing M class before processing the upgrade just to be safe.

hmmmmmmmmm ... interested to know how this works out ... I used miles to upgrade BWI-DTW-SEA next month (DL has a 744 operating as a positioning flight, snagged one of the last seats upstairs ); I don't need either the DL spend or the 3600 miles, and I'd get to MVPG a couple weeks earlier than I'm currently forecasting if I can indeed credit to AS

Both segments posted without incident.
SFO-JFK was IRROP and I had to move to an earlier departure. They rebooked me in full J but sadly the flight still posted as M fare distance credit.
