If you don't have your skymiles number in there, I'm not sure that you could even transfer the upgrade request to the airport system.
I assume you mean fare class rather than fare. Also, what about the DL Reserve card?
I've also heard that it's time of request only.
AFAIK there are no published priority rules.
