If that's not happening, then something is wrong beyond the priority of the list. Also, does your name as it appears on the ticket exactly match how it appears on your MP account?

But there's another curious thing: you say " She is a million mile file with current Gold status ... every time we get to the gate, she is the first person on the upgrade list. (Always gets her upgrade)" If that's true, she would be the envy of every other Gold out there for her good fortune.
So what is wierd if I log into my mileasgeplus account I can see all our flights for the year under that gold account, but I also don't get credit towards platinum or any miles for the flights? Is that normal.

Under upcoming it has my next two flights listed as well, So I assume the name is correct?

No idea how she does it but her last 6 flights she has been upgraded. Orlando both way, Vegas one way, Alabama both ways, Nashville both ways, and Chicago one way. Not sure if the Million Mile status bumps her above regular Gold members?

Also I did notice something weird. It might have to do with the name. On my mileageplus account It has my full name and the suffix at the end. However in United booking they put the damn JR attached to my last name. Is that causing issues? Should I drop the JR, or will that cause issues with my ID?
