BTW, apparently now if you apply a SWU the upgrade offer will still show. If you choose the offer you will get a warning that the SWU will be unapplied.
Yes, that is correct. However, I noticed for an upcoming trip that when the domestic leg associated with an waitlisted international leg clears as a comp upgrade, the offer disappears. I reached out to the chat line and they couldn’t see anything either. My guess is that they didn’t code for this scenario.
Re-booked (which saved me a few dollars) and the same offer re-appeared. Ended up taking it as it was very good and used one of my expiring SWUs to confirm into F.
