I have always had such great luck in finding answers here so thanks in advance.

So here is the dumb question this week. Got conflicting answers recently...

I am DM, with a reserve card. If I call Delta and request that a SWU be used on a domestic flight, which gives the higher priority or chance of getting the upgrade? I was told once, that my DM status held priority but then tonight I was told the certificate would move me to the top of the list regardless of complimentary upgrades via status.

I looked here, but just can't seem to figure it out. Any answers would be appreciated.
