you can for sure apply a TSU even standing at the check in desk (but before they actually check you in so they can attach the upgrade certificate). Experienced this at a property that wouldn’t upgrade me to the standard suite at check-in, but said they will if I applied a TSU, so I applied one right at the desk. Would have fought it but was further upgraded to a premium suite after I voiced my displeasure to the manager that greeted me AFTER it was applied but BEFORE I left the desk.
