It has been R7/RN7 since Friday night...That part hasn't changed the 4 times I've looked at it this weekend.

I called CO Plat line, and have been told that since I didn't buy a Y/B/M ticket, that I have to wait until I get to the airport.

With R and RN (I don't know the difference) both WIDELY available for the last 2 1/2 days, I simply don't understand why I haven't been upgraded yet, or more specifically, why this stupid EUA thing hasn't run or hasn't run properly.

This is my first CO flight...I'm not only unimpressed thus far, but long for the United way of handling upgrades. So sad to see that it seems as this, well, STUPID way of handling upgrades will prevail over UA's vastly superior system.

Shouldn't I have cleared by now? If not, then why not? The inventory has been there for a long time, but still stuck in a non-exit row seat. I don't get it.
There's no plat line, it's the elite line for all elites. The agent gave you incorrect information, however they're not allowed to force the upgrade. You might want to drop a PM to UA Insider, Scott and Shannon are interested in hearing about times when EUA doesn't run dynamically when within 24 hours of a flight. Clearly that's the case with your flight tomorrow. Are you at least in an ELR seat? Your Onepass number is on the reservation, right???
