I Got/Didn't Get MVP/Gold/75K Upgrade on AS (2019)
 
Please post your upgrade successes & failures including:

Date
Route (Please bold if failure)
Flight Number
Status (MVP, Gold or 75K)
Fare Class
Add companion if there was one
Time the upgrade cleared or position on waitlist if didn't clear
Date of ticket purchase

Examples:
2/2/19 SEA-ANC AS 67 75K Upgrade cleared at T-120 hours
2/19/19 MSY-SEA AS 887 MVPG Didn't clear 4/22 on waitlist

Since we are within the 120 hour window when Alaska Airlines (supposedly) starts processing upgrades, it is time to start a new thread for 2019.

I was checking the app on my flights and this itinerary had a schedule change requiring a call in to reservations. Turned out one flight had changed 10 minutes. While on the call, I realized I booked the wrong flight (wanted afternoon but booked early morning flight which we flew often in 2018). So I requested a change to the afternoon and the agent changed it, checked for upgrades and upgraded us.

1/12/19 DEN-SEA AS369 75K W-class (12.5K one-way award) Upgrade cleared at T-120 hours (received e-mail)
1/12/19 SEA-SBA AS418 75K W-class (12.5K one-way award) Upgrade cleared at T-120 hours (received e-mail)
1/14/19 SBA-SEA AS433 75K W-class (12.5K one-way award) Upgrade cleared at T-120 hours (did not receive-mail)
1/14/19 SEA-DEN AS618 75K W-class (12.5K one-way award) Upgrade cleared at T-80 hours (received e-mail)

Looks like the "8-open-seats-in-F or more" rule is valid. Nice to see on an award ticket, especially on a 737-800 (SEA-SBA-SEA) with only 12 F seats.

Ha! That's EXACTLY what I thought. I bought a lottery ticket immediately after landing. I'm going to go check the numbers after dinner.

The earlier flight canceled, and both were F4 (on A320s) the evening prior, so no surprise.
