You can wait till OLCI and check your position on the list before applying a SWU if necessary. If the SWU is going to be wasted anyway, you can call and apply it now.

+1. I don't why people think this is so unusual. If the Y upgrade was not subject to upgrade inventory restrictions, it would essentially be the same thing as a F fare.
