Hello all,

Outside of getting GPUs to clear at time of booking, I've had no luck getting them to clear when waitlisted, which has made me pessimistic of the whole thing. I have had luck just checking for R space periodically (sometimes daily getting closer), finding openings, calling and just clearing into it via a GPU or miles.

Is this just me being superstitious? Is it safe to just waitlist the GPU upgrade and let United handle it?

I have some flights that are way out in Nov/Dec and so its prob too early for R-space to appear but I'm booked into M fare and want to upgrade if possible, should I just waitlist?
