CO elites are eligible to waitlist for a complimentary domestic upgrade regardless of if the flight has a CO flight number or not.
Yes, I am aware of this Call Center shuffle, I have been doing it for the past 6 months. It was only 24 hours before the flight so I didn't bother with it.

Very true, although I opted for this route rather than the one I wanted (MSP-ORD-PHL) because when I tried to book about a week in advance the ~4:30pm, ~5:30pm, ~6:30pm MSP-ORD flights were all sold out.

The plane comfortable (I was up front, but I took a peek in the back and it looked spacious, at least E+ did). Service was excellent. Overall I was very impressed. I'd do it again in a heart beat. ^
Well I guess YMMV as with many issues. I was able to easily add my OP# and assign myself an E+ seat on my original flight, although the earlier flight they put me on they did not have an E+ seat for me. I was confused on the upgrade front. My OP# was in the CO reservation but not the UA, I didn't feel like making an extra call if it wasn't necessary.
How was checking in? or did you just print online?
