I've applied an RPU on this route before that typically get the upgrade or it puts me in at least the top 5 on the list. I know it's hub-hub with a lot of elites but does it look strange that i'm so far down the list with an RPU as 1K?
If it makes any difference, I had to call the 1K desk to check myself in because it wouldn't let me online. Could something the rep did potentially negate my RPU?
I fly weekly from SFO-IAH-XXX and back.
My SFO-IAH flights are on Sundays between 6am and 8:45am. My 2015 RPU upgrade percentage is 9%. Yes, that is 9%. My fares are H, E, U, V and W. I am usually in positions 8 through 12 on the upgrade list.
My IAH-SFO flights on Thursdays are either at 6pm or 7pm. My 2015 RPU upgrade percentage is ZERO. 0%! Again, my fares are H, E, U, V and W. I am usually in positions 10 through 20 on the upgrade list.
My
2014 RPU upgrade percentage for a combined SFO-IAH and IAH-SFO was 19%.
Lately I have started taking Delta flights. DL is a much more enjoyable flight experience. And, as a DL Silver and now Gold, I have been upgraded several times between SFO and ATL!
