Well, here is the latest. I checked today and my elite upgrades have gone through. Still no charge to my Amex. I depart at the end of the week. So we'll see. If they don't charge it, I surely won't complain. Just more Dolce and Gabbana I can buy while I'm away.
Oh one more thing, everyone keeps asking why I didn't call NWA until saturday. Well the website went down at 11:30 on friday night. I kept trying until 12:15, hence it was saturday.

Upgrades can be processed without a ticket on the PNR.
Well if you are elite, they know where to track you down once they close their books at month end. My advice is that you should move and cancel your credit card. They will catch up. I've had changes on tickets where the airline didn't charge me until six months later.
