Reading this thread, it seems like Upgrade Denied is often a glitch more than anything else, but I'm still wondering if I should be concerned.

I'm a newbie 1K who's flying LGA-ORD-MSP on 7/14. Bought tickets while still 1P, but called UA Res to take out and re-enter MP no once I hit 1K.

At 100-hour mark, UDU did not clear, but did not go to Waitlisted either. Was still listed as Pending. So at about T-90, called 1K desk and CSR immediately cleared ORD-MSP into NF and added another waitlisted NF segment for LGA-ORD. interestingly, original segment in K still showed Upgrade Pending.

This morning, after T-72, I login to .bomb and noticed that waitlisted NF segment became Upgrade Denied, and there was no more Upgrade Pending message for original segment in K.

Called 1K desk and CSR didn't seem to know what I was talking about. Said I was still on priority waitlist, and that .bomb shows Upgrade Denied cos it is not currently available. Flight is indeed NF0. Should I be concerned? Cleared LGA-ORD a good number of times as a 1P, and even intentionally chose flight on 752 to increase chances of upgrade. .bomb currently showing F8 A8. How good are my chances? Thanks for input!

Cheers,
