I did call in and ask about it, and when the Diamond Line rep didn't really understand what I was talking about I asked to be transferred to the international ticketing desk. I was connected to a wonderful rep who checked it out, agreed that the GUCs had indeed cleared, and pushed through the re-ticketing. If you call, have the GUC numbers that you are using available to read to the ticketing agent - that seemed to help a lot as the ones that had been "assigned" were not correct and probably why the booking had not yet been re-ticketed. It all got straightened out in the end, and I am thrilled to have used 3 GUCs going straight from MC to D1 since there is no PS on those flights. Hoping yours works out as well!
Interesting! I tried calling today and the rep was adamant that even though I was seeing two flights, fare OK/OX, etc., that the GUCs were still "pending" and I was still on the waitlist. He said there was definitely nothing to do, and that was that.
I guess I should try again, maybe try your tip of asking for international ticketing?
