When I was playing on DL.com, I saw mileage bookings that showed the discount applied and showed "Upgrade Available to Premium Select/Delta One." Whether that means one would run into an issue or not when trying to apply a cert online or even calling in, I do not know.
What I did notice was that the discount was not applied if the ticket had any partner operated segments on the mileage ticket or if the ticket was entirely partner operated. Not surprising there but wanted to add the data point.
