Consolidated CPU on Awards for UA Premiers Who Hold An Eligible Chase/UA CC {ARCHIVE}
Booked an award ticket for my son used my CO Presidential Plus MasterCard to pay for tax. Just got a notice that he has been upgraded!
Moderator Edit: There has been some confusion over this benefit but it looks like UA has updated their systems per this post per the now closed thread on the pmCO fourm. If you're trying to get an airport agent to add yourself to the list, have them reference:

DRS: GG CHASE / GG UP CODE
From a memo just put out on 19 June 2012:
Primary cardmembers for certain MileagePlus credit cards issued by Chase are eligible for Complimentary Premier Upgrades (CPU) on the day of departure at the airport when traveling on Award tickets.
Note: Customers must advise the airport agent that they want to be placed on the upgrade standby list and present their eligible credit card. This can only be requested at the airport on the day of departure. This functionality is not available via self-service check in platforms at this time.

A while back there were rumors that 1ks would be able to upgrade award tickets. Boy, would be nice.

Upgrade on award ticket misinformation
Called premier line last night to ask about CPU on award ticket. CSR assured and then re-assured me that with my gold status I was eligible for an upgrade. I am pretty sure she was wrong. I checked united.com and it appears that this I am not eligible. Who is correct?

As a premier you are right - only GS can do this.

Yea, that is what I thought. That is why I double checked with her on the phone. I thought maybe they had changed the rules. Apparently, she just did not know the rules. Oh well.
I have a MP Visa. But it is not one of the cards on the list to be eligible for upgrade. However, the CSR insisted I was eligible for upgrade based solely on my status.
