As it turns out her seat was upgraded but mine has not. Rather odd...NW upgrades usually go through rather predictably for me.

I called the elite line # and she said my status clearly shows, so she did not know why this happened.

I will do online checkin this afternoon and see if the upgrade goes through at that time.
I was able to get the upgrade at checkin, as it turns out.

Coming home, the same thing happened. Mrs. Watchful received her upgrade as a silver, and I did not as a gold. Again, I was able to receive an upgrade at checkin.

My gold status shows correctly when I look at the itinerary - so I am not sure why the upgrade sweep missed me. Anyone else having similar issues with upgrades. Again this was all NW metal - originally booked as a NW gold - reservations recently separated from Mrs. W's - first flight since the Oct. 1 merger.
