And I have yet to figure out the waitlist thing. This is strange to me but maybe not to you who know better. My wife and I are both Premier Exec with United. We both booked round trip tickets at the same time on the same flight. We both requested upgrade at the exact same time on two different computers.

The flight departs tomorrow and I have been upgraded. She was waitlisted at the exact same time and still is.

Yes, I'll be a good husband and cancel my upgrade to sit with her if she isn't upgraded. But it is still a mystery to me why I was upgraded before she was.
