I called in to get on the waitlist, and only after the process was done, the agent told me that I can't be on the waitlist for both BXP1 and for 500-mi sticker upgrades. She said it's only one or the other, because otherwise "the system gets confused and doesn't know which one to pick" (whatever that means). Is this true?

She also said that "EVIP upgrades" get released first, then miles & co-pay, and finally BXP1. This seems wrong to me since mi+copay/SWU/BXP1 all come out of the C bucket, but she was very insistent on it.

Should I remove myself from one of the two lists, or can I stay on both at the same time?
