Bump...
Doing EWR-SFO on Sunday, flight is zeroed except for ADFZ (1 each), so looking to maybe score the upgrade or a VDB. I do NOT have a seat assignment yet, and the seatmap is showing only exit rows available. If I do OLCI, I might have a good shot at nabbing one of those seats, but will that wreck my chance at VDB?

In short, if gunning for the next flight (or even next day, I don't really need to be in SFO until the 13th or so), is OLCI a bad idea?
