SU will op up their own frequent flyers first, before venturing out. So in my experience and SU silver will get an OP before Club 2000 / Skipper / Delta 360 which is meaningless to SU.
Often this happens in advance, I got mine at check in but lately SU has been better about monitizing this as opposed to giving it away, as cited in the examples.
