The biggest benefit is the large amount of flights I can confirm-upgrade on. This is mitigated however by one really annoying thing: Confirmed eUpgrades show on many flights in the booking tool, but when I go in to the eupgrade tool to make the booking, it puts me on the waitlist.

It would be one thing if the inventory lagged by a few minutes or something, but I have seen it languish for well over a week at times.

Does anyone else experience this regularly? What good is the online eUpgrade indicator if it can't be trusted at all? I waste a lot of time booking flights, trying to upgrade them, and then having to cancel and look for a new one.
Sound like you need an EF subscription...
