No mention of "upgrade inventory" needing to be available. Do you have some confirmation for that restriction? Thanks for any clarification you can give.

If you click on the link to jump to "How & When Complimentary Upgrades Clear", then below the chart look for the heading "When your upgrade will clear:", you'll see where it says "... subject to upgrade availability."

Not any more (it use to show up in flight search results if you were logged in but they replaced it with certificate upgrade availability). You can call in and ask. Or if it really makes a difference to your choice to book, you can cancel within the 24 hour risk-free cancellation window.
