Welcome to SFO. I have spent lots of quality time in economy after applying PlusPoints out of SFO. I very rarely make it out of double digits on the wait list as a lowly 1K. I have sat next to GS who used PlusPoints and died at #1 or #2.

Do a hand-count of the GS and 1K pre-boards on any SFO flight (particularly transcons or to another hub). That's only the people who both wanted to and arrived in time to pre-board.
