I'm under similar circumstances. I'm a newly minted Silver going on a mileage run starting tomorrow. ATL-MEM-EWR-MSP-SFO and back. ATL-MEM and MEM-EWR upgraded automatically yesterday afternoon, but EWR-MSP and MSP-SFO haven't upgraded, even though they're showing P8 F7 and P9 F9 respectively.

Now, I am pretty sure I don't have to worry about getting the upgrade at the gate, but since it's now one day prior, can I call and have them manually upgrade? Do I use option 1 (Worldperks) or option 3 (domestic travel)?

Has anyone discovered any rhyme or reason for when and how upgrades are processed? Do numerous segments (such as 4 on this leg) make a difference, or the time of departure?

EDITED TO ADD: Never mind - I answered my own question. I called and am now upgraded on all segments. THIS is why I fly NW out of ATL while all of the other lemmings fly Delta.
