Booked PDX-TVL when Plat, now 1K
I am waitlisted for an u/g Y-->C using miles + copay for PDX-TLV in Late Oct. 2/3 domestic segments have cleared but EWR-TLV hasn't. I booked this earlier in the year when I was Plat, but I crossed 1K ~1 month after booking the trip.
If I understand how copay+miles u/g works (not probable), it is dependent on fare class and pax status. Do I need to do anything to improve my chance of the u/g clearing (such as having UA refresh it or WHY)?
Thanks

What is the fare class for your EWR-TLV flight? If it is V and above, you will beat all 1Ks with W fares in the waiting list. Upfare for this segment only will be a good option. Good luck.

My theory was that W and V fell into the same "big bucket", and her upgrade was processed ahead of mine due to some other priority ordering - time of purchase of ticket or some such thing.
