Would appreciate if you can report back your experience after travel on this thread (which also has some more info about what to say to agents if you can't use the app for your change and need to debate the rules with someone):
SDC while using Regional Upgrade Certificates (RUC) Definitive Thread
thanks and will do - I haven’t had issues in a long time with SDC on RUCs except for the one time where I asked to be transferred to the reissue desk right away and the lady had no clue how these worked. I generally like adding a connection on my transcons - JFK to BOS to LAX or BOS to SEA to LAX etc so I usually have to call in because app only lets me choose non stop if that was original ticket.
I don’t think I will SDC this one but will report back if I do
