how did you auto-upgrade the CO flights, if that's what happened? I have a CO trip next weekend and they (NW--I'm Gold there) told me I had to call them after midnight 2 days before (for each way, too, and I have to make the call for the return at 2am because that's SFO time here which struck me as sort of strange) to confirm upgrades.
The CO system sweeps for NW Elites. Its happened to me on my last two CO trips and has delivered pretty efficiently.
You should call in advance and make sure that the CO system RECOGNIZES you as a NW Elite. If it does, then it will consider you while EUA runs.
