Based on your advice, is there any reason why I shouldn't just check-in as late as possible (given that I have already selected seats)?
agreed. However, 2 days is pretty much zero chance that status will update. 2 days for the flight to post ... then additional time. If the flight has posted and your stats show > 50k PQM, segments and $$$ ... you MIGHT find someone waiving bag fees, but this is very tough to do ... the computer will say 'no'. Best change is that once the flight has posted to call UA and see if they can annotate the PNR or call MPSC, explain the situation and see if they can push the status through.
