To the original poster: This is great news! Several people have been wondering when the actual rollout would be after Scott confirmed that the Pres Plus reward EUA's were coming. It is one of the perks of the Pres Plus card that I have been eagerly awaiting news of. So glad to hear that at least one person actually scored an upgrade -- and that people seem to be making the EUA waitlists.
I did not realize that reward Plat would be prioritized over lower paid elites. I have a reward trip scheduled for June, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Other Pres Plus cardholders: Please continue to keep all of us posted as to your EUA luck when travelling on reward tickets.

My co-worker, Plat with a Chase PP card, booked a ticket for a friend on a seperate flight (different routes/same destination) and the friend got upgraded on his flight. I guess the CO system still has the bugs of transferring the person who used the miles OnePass # into those booked for on reward, lucky friend.

How is it legal for CO to tie award ticket EUA's to CO-branded credit cards? Something smells fishy here.
They give free EUA on revenue tickets regardless of how you paid for it yet award ticket EUA is tied to a CO credit card? If I paid CO for those tickets and earned the miles using any credit card I should absolutely be able to get a free EUA on an award ticket regardless of how I pay the taxes. This is bogus!

Why wouldn't it be legal? DL gives upgrades to its elites that are tied to some DL co-branded credit cards too -- it just comes in the form of upgrade prioritization. Nothing unlawful about that either.

I hope this perks will survive after the mileage program merger, though I highly doubt it...
Enjoy the benefit!

I booked a non-status friend on an IAH-ATL round-trip itinerary using my miles. I'm PPlat and paid the taxes with my Chase PPlus card. Today, at T-48, I got an EUA notification that my friend had been upgraded on the return leg ATL-IAH.

WClearly a glitch. Here is hoping they do not close this loop hole.
