I have a flight in March SFO-FRA-MAD. Originally bought as W in November, shortly after, a plus points request cleared to R immediately. I have since messed with the return multiple times. and the reservation looks a little wonky on the upgrades tab:



Flights are out of order, things don't line up. But I can read it and the 80 deducted waitlist line refers to ORD-MSP following the cleared upgrade of FRA-ORD.

Previously I tried to reprice FRA-ORD to W so I could reduce the plus points used, got a very confused person via text and gave up for the moment.

Now PZ = 2 for SFO-FRA. I called the 1K line and was told "You're number one on the waitlist" I said PZ>0 and asked if they could push it through. They said "We can't do anything to push it through, you just have to wait for the system."

I've thought about two options: 1) call back or text and ask them to cancel and re-apply the SFO-FRA upgrade request. 2) HUCA

Thoughts appreciated.

10 minutes later it cleared. So option 3 was breathe and wait. I'm not very good at that.
