So wonder if the fare class change is screwing some things up.

I am on an award ticket NK class.

On checkin I noticed I was one from the bottom on the upgrade list, out of 20 people.

As a PM I can understand not making it to the top but second from the bottom was odd.

Had the agents check at the airport and they said it was showing up as a 'UP8' code, which is a 'pay with miles' ticket. I'm not on a pay with miles, but a peak award, two different things.

I see that on the Delta site Pay with Miles is now eligible for upgrades, but it's listed as being prioritized within your elite tier. Which would mean a UP3 level code, ahead of Golds and Silvers.

The agents tried pulling it out and letting the computer reassign, but it's still stuck thinking this should be a UP8.

Not that I would have cleared, but very odd...anyone else encounter this 'UP8' code?
