Let us know how it works out. I haven't used any RUCs yet, but I'm curious if I should blow it now for a trip in 3 weeks, or wait it out and do what you're doing on DoD.

DoD seems to work just fine if coded properly, requested at least T-2, not on an elite heavy route at peak times, etc. In the rare case you can use them in advance that's of course ideal - was able to snag LAX-BOS on a V fare and then use my RUC to confirm into first at booking. This worked out well as a colleague (DM on H fare) who waited for DoD was 3/40 for 1 seat *with* the RUC applied.
