When I look at the upgrade tab it still shows as requested and I don't have any SWUs in my wallet. Is it safe to assume that the upgrade was a mistake and that it will eventually be taken off or will I be asked to deposit a SWU into my wallet before I can get my boarding pass? I do have a choice reward I can select if needed, but didn't want to pick anything until absolutely sure it will clear. Thoughts? Sorry in advance if a similar situation has been addressed previously.
Is it possible that it cleared before it expired and you didn't check? Or did you confirm it was still Y on Oct 1 or later
