However, I’ve talked to 4 different DL agents and I’ve got 4 different answers when it comes to how you use the certificates and what fare class needs to be available. It’s incredibly frustrating (Welcome to the club. I know). Maybe I’m in the wrong? Someone please help.

Just buy your tickets with DL flight numbers - then call in to upgrade. Or ask international ticketing to help you upgrade.
