Here's the situation:

My ticket: Booked via delta.com, but it's AS metal
Wife's ticket: Booked via alaskaair.com

We've linked the two reservations at alaskaair.com and I'm showing first class waitlisted but she isn't. I called the MVP Gold line and they told me they couldn't put her on the waitlist because we had different fare classes.

Anyone else been in this situation before? Was the rep correct or is there a way around this? On the outbound fight we did same-day upgrade by asking at the gate to insert her on the list manually after me, which the agent did.
