My daughter had it happen to her about three weeks ago. It took a call to get it corrected because she had already checked in and the app wouldn't let her change it.

It happened to me three weeks ago while in ELP and I was sitting at the gate. The gate agent seemed incredulous that I would NOT want their marvelous C+ seat. She did not even seem aware that customers can explicitly exclude the PNR from upgrades from "Main Cabin" to C+.

And just last night, I get the e-mail that informs me of an upgrade from my preferred exit row to DL C+ on a flight from ATL-SMF in late November. DL C+ is not an "upgrade" to me in any way if I have to give up an emergency row to get it. Fortunately, I was awake at 3:30 am when the e-mail came through and I reclaimed my exit row seat where the rest of my family was sitting (separate PNR).

DL - please stop the unwanted upgrades to C+.
