Is there a secret?
Asking for Skywards instead of general reservations may help.

I'm not sure what you mean by "new reservations." Is your award ticketed?

My award was ticketed and I wait listed on a DIFFERENT day. I don't know if that makes the difference.

Also, I have no status with EK.

As I indicated upthread, it appears many agents don't know how to do it, but some do.
