So you are saying if my miles post later today, and I want to book 2 flights after my miles post, I will not be able to select E+ seats until a few days later?
Ok I just have to book it first since UA is matching WN on ORD-DTW for $88 RT and just call MP later to change the seats.
Thanks

Exactly. Once it shows online that your status has changed, simply call United back up and have them re-enter your mileage plus number into the record (you must tell them that). That will unlock the magic of E+ for you. I've seen cases where even after it shows online Premier, it takes 12-18 hours more for the res systems to sync up.
But yes, book your tickets now, deal with seats later.
