I don't believe I've ever used one of mine since it's either purchased F or a free domestic upgrade. So, I have no familiarity with this process.

Any thoughts or experience on when it may clear? It shows as wait listed but I see many seats still open in J. MP agent simply told me she shows it on the list but doesn't have an idea on time or position on the list.

Thanks!
Impossible question to answer reliably.. it could be anytime including at the gate. But since you're GS if the flight doesn't sell out of seats you'll likely be upgraded at least a few days in advance.
