OK, I gotta ask this as I'm confused and it doesn't make sense the way I'm reading this. You're NW Gold and you've flown a lot on Delta this year and you just made Silver on CO? If you're NW Gold then why not use that number? If you've flown Delta and CO why not just keep using your NW World Perks Number for your flight segments? Maybe I'm not understanding here but they're all skyteam partners, why would you want NW Gold and CO Silver, just doesn't make sense.
Now that that's out of the way, welcome to Flyertalk. As far as Silver on CO depending on your city good luck getting an upgrade. Depends on how you book but if you're going deep discounted fares then these pages are full of Plat's that don't get upgrades on those fares. If you purchase Y then you can get an upgrade at time of booking on some segments.
Good luck; and for a piece of good information, my kids are silver and they get upgraded about 50% of the time when they fly (but it's not a common route).
