Would I be able to wait until the gate to see if they upgrade me without using e ups and if they don't go to the gate and ask to use my e ups? I am super elite.
I think the problem you run into there is that they won't op-up until the gate's closed, and you can't use eUps after it's closed.

...I say, having never tried to do either of those.
